Description
Global health and International Relations have long been distinct fields, but their separation has dramatically changed in recent years. As Colin McInnes and Kelley Lee explore four key intersections between these subjects, they examine the implications of this shift for both fields. The authors argue that understanding how global health is problematized - shaped by particular interests and normative frameworks - is crucial to addressing the complex health risks facing a globalized world. By stepping back from problem-solving to ask fundamental questions about how global health is being addressed, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this rapidly emerging subject. This book encourages a more reflexive and critical approach to global health, highlighting the need for collective action to deal with the health risks associated with globalization.
