Challenging the dominant account of medical law as normatively and
conceptually subordinate to medical or bioethics, this book
provides an innovative account of medical law as a rhetorical
practice. The aspiration to provide a firm grounding for medical
law in ethical principle has not yet been realized. Rather, legal
doctrine is marked, if anything, by increasingly evident
contradiction and indeterminacy that are symptomatic of the
inherently contingent nature of legal argumentation. Against the
idea of a timeless, placeless ethics as the master discipline for
medical law, this book demonstrates how judicial and academic
reasoning seek to manage this contingency, through the deployment
of rhetorical strategies, persuasive to concrete audiences within
specific historical, cultural and political contexts. Informed by
social and legal theory, cultural history and literary criticism,
John Harrington's careful reading of key judicial decisions,
legislative proposals and academic interventions offers an
original, and significant, understanding of medical law.
The right to health, having been previously neglected is now
being deployed more and more often in litigation, activism and
policy-making across the world. International bodies such as the
WHO, UNAIDS, World Bank and WTO are increasingly using or being
evaluated with reference to health rights, and international NGOs
frequently use the language of rights in campaigning and in more
concrete litigation.
This book brings together an impressive array of internationally
renowned scholars in the areas of law, philosophy and health policy
to critically interrogate the development of rights based
approaches to health. The volume integrates discussion of the right
to health at a theoretical level in law and ethics, with the
difficult substantive issues where the right is relevant, and with
emerging systems of global health governance. The contributions to
this volume will add to our theoretical and practical understanding
of rights based approaches to health.

HIV/AIDS remains a major global health problem, despite the
progress made in its prevention and treatment. Addressing this
problem is not only a matter of more and better drugs, they need to
be widely accessible and be affordable to the poor. This book
makes, with a much welcomed interdisciplinary approach, an
excellent contribution to understanding how the intellectual
property regime can influence health policies and the lives of
millions of people affected by the disease. The analysis provided
by the various authors that contributed to this book will be of
relevance not only to those working in the area of HIV/AIDS, but to
those more broadly interested in public health governance and the
role of intellectual property rights.' - Carlos Correa, University
of Buenos Aires, Argentina'This is an important, innovative and, at
times, controversial collection. Inter-disciplinary in approach,
this collection will have appeal to those concerned with the global
injustice in the context of HIV/AIDS. Investigating the legal,
political and economic determinants of access to essential
medicines, this is thought provoking collection which will resonate
with many in both the academic and public policy community.' -
Bryan Mercurio, The Chinese University of Hong Kong This important
book brings together leading scholars from multiple disciplines,
including intellectual property, human rights, public health, and
development studies, as well as activists to critically reflect on
the global health governance regime. The Global Governance of
HIV/AIDS explores the implications of high international
intellectual property standards for access to essential medicines
in developing countries. With a focus on HIV/AIDS governance, the
volume provides a timely analysis of the international legal and
political landscape, the relationship between human rights and
intellectual property, and emerging issues in global health policy.
It concludes with concrete strategies on how to improve access to
HIV/AIDS medicines. This interdisciplinary, global, and up-to-date
book will strongly appeal to academics in law, international
relations, health policy and public policy, as well as students,
policymakers and activists. Contributors include: F.M. Abbott, O.
