International responses to the outbreak of SARS, the spread of
HIV/AIDS, and the promotion of health as a human right all
demonstrate how global politics have a profound effect on the way
we think about and respond to major health challenges. Despite a
growing interest in the relationship between health and
international relations there has yet to be a systematic study of
the links between them. Global Health Issues aims to fill
this gap ? ultimately showing how world politics can be good,
or bad, for your health.

This book calls for a more nuanced understanding of the nature
of the current global health crisis and the political dilemmas
faced by those responsible for the development and implementation
of responses to it. By charting these debates and showing how they
shape the way actors think about key issues relating to health,
such as people movement; infectious disease; the business of
health; and the consequences of war; this volume provides an
innovative and comprehensive introduction to health and
international relations for students of global politics, health
studies and related disciplines.
