We experience the culture of globalisation every time we visit a
Tandoori restaurant in Chicago, or a Pizza Hut in Hyderabad, or as
we watch Bollywood films in Australia. Globalisation is a label
used for a wide range of political, social and cultural phenomena,
many of which are explored in this volume. The Politics and Culture
of Globalisation: India and Australia brings together Indian and
Australian experts in the fields of political science,
international relations, philosophy, cultural theory and political
economy. Its timeliness and unifying theme derive from comparisons
between Indian and Australian perspectives, and analyses by
Australian writers on developments in India. Indian-Australian
relations are explored in several chapters. The neo-liberal form of
globalisation is a key focus of critique in this volume. Several
chapters examine the search for alternative forms of governance as
the nation-state undergoes profound change due to global
interconnectedness.
The book studies the pharmaceutical industry of India. It is one of
the most successful stories of economic expansion and improvements
in public health. Indian firms have made access to quality
medicines possible and affordable in many developing countries.
Indian pharmaceuticals are also exported on a large scale to the
United States and other highly regulated markets. A wave of
mergers, acquisitions and tie-ups point to growing integration
between Indian firms and global pharma multinationals. Please note:

Some two decades will shortly have passed since the WTO's Trade
Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights agreement came into
force in 1995. TRIPS is widely considered to have had a negative
impact on access to medicines through its rules on pharmaceutical
patents. This volume is the first cross-country analysis of how
TRIPS has affected the capacity of 11 major low or medium income
countries to produce generic drugs and assesses the wider political
economy of drug production and consumption in the Global South.

This book examines the important role of consumer activism in
health policy in different national contexts. In an age of shifting
boundaries between state and civil society, consumer groups are
potentially drivers of democratization in the health domain. The
expert contributors explore how their activities bring new dynamics
to relations between service providers, the medical profession,
government agencies, and other policy actors. This book is unique
in comprehensively analyzing the opportunities and dilemmas of this
type of activism, including ambiguous partnerships between consumer
groups and stakeholders such as the pharmaceutical industry. These
themes are explored within an internationally comparative
framework, with case studies from various countries. Students and
researchers in the fields of health policy and sociology, public
policy and social movements will find this relevant and
path-breaking book enlightening. It will also prove invaluable for
participants and activists in patient and health consumer
organizations. Contributors include: K. Adams, W. Armstrong, R.
