Global Health Security in China, Japan, and India assesses evolving
global health security in three major Asian countries that adhere
to the standards and targets in accordance with United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The COVID-19 pandemic has put
a newfound emphasis on the importance of global health security:
the idea that countries must cooperate to address international
public health threats while meeting varied domestic health care
needs. Balancing cost, affordability, stakeholder demands,
political ideology, and global economic pressures, all three
countries have made significant advances in health law and policy
over the past decade.
Since the 2008 economic meltdown, market-driven globalization has
posed new challenges for governments. This volume introduces the
concept of "grey zones" of global governance, where state policy
and market behaviour interact with respect to trade, the
environment, food security, and investment. Grey zones allow for
the bending of international rules, which both promotes uniformity
in many areas of public life and facilitates diverse forms of
capitalism in market societies, enabling governments to balance
national and global economic benefits. This exploration of local
engagement with international economic law offers an innovative way
to interpret public concerns about trade, investment, food
security, green energy, subsidies, and anti-dumping actions.
Unfulfilled legal needs are at a tipping point in much of the
Canadian justice system. The Justice Crisis assesses what is and
isn't working in efforts to strengthen a fundamental right of
democratic citizenship: access to civil and family justice.
Contributors to this wide-ranging overview of recent empirical
research address key issues: the extent and cost of unmet legal
needs; the role of public funding; connections between legal and
social exclusion among vulnerable populations; the value of new
legal pathways; the provision of justice services beyond the courts
and lawyers; and the need for a culture change within the justice
system.
Mother's Milk or Blue Ruin, Dutch Courage or Cuckold's Comfort -
the fanciful nicknames that gin has acquired only hint at its
colourful story. The story begins with the aromatic juniper berry
originally used by the Dutch to flavour the whisky-like genever.
The drink then made its way to Britain, where cheap imitations
laced with turpentine and other caustic fillers made it the drink
of choice for poor eighteenth-century Londoners. Eventually
replaced by the sweetened Old Tom style and then by London Dry, gin
was introduced to the wider world by means of the British Empire,
and during the Jazz Age became a mainstay of a new drinking
culture: the cocktail. Today classic cocktails like the Gimlet and
the Negroni are embraced by drinkers who enjoy a new breed of
modern gins, and gin has reclaimed pride of place in the world of
mixology. Gin: A Global History will attract both cocktail
aficionados and lovers of food history as it chronicles gin's
evolution from cheap liquor to modern alcoholic marvel.
