But staggering health inequalities between rich and poor still remain, raising fundamental questions of social justice. In a book that systematically defines the burgeoning field of global health law, Lawrence Gostin drives home the need for effective global governance for health and offers a blueprint for reform, based on the principle that the opportunity to live a healthy life is a basic human right.  Gostin shows how critical it is for institutions and international agreements to focus not only on illness but also on the essential conditions that enable people to stay healthy throughout their lifespan: nutrition, clean water, mosquito control, and tobacco reduction. Policies that shape agriculture, trade, and the environment have long-term impacts on health, and Gostin proposes major reforms of global health institutions and governments to ensure better coordination, more transparency, and accountability. He illustrates the power of global health law with case studies on AIDS, influenza, tobacco, and health worker migration.  Today's pressing health needs worldwide are a problem not only for the medical profession but also for all concerned citizens. Designed with the beginning student, advanced researcher, and informed public in mind, Global Health Law will be a foundational resource for teaching, advocacy, and public discourse in global health.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50359765172497,"sku":"CIN067472884XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51833260474641,"sku":"CIN067472884XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108822642961,"sku":"GOR008974431","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53263744368913,"sku":"CIN067472884XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/067472884X.jpg?v=1751040837"},{"product_id":"aids-pandemic-book-lawrence-o-gostin-9780807828304","title":"The AIDS Pandemic","description":"In this collection of essays, Lawrence O. Gostin, a scholar of AIDS law and policy, confronts the most pressing and controversial issues surrounding AIDS in America and around the world. He shows how HIV\/AIDS affects the entire US population - infected and uninfected - by influencing its social norms, economy, and the country's role as a world leader. The nation and the world still fail to respond to the needs of people living with HIV\/AIDS and continue to tolerate injustice in their treatment, Gostin argues. AIDS, both in the USA and globally, deeply affects poor and marginalized populations, and many US policies are based on conservative moral values rather than public health and social justice concerns. Gostin tackles the hard social, legal, political and ethical issues of the HIV\/AIDS pandemic: privacy and discrimination, travel and immigration, clinical trials and drug pricing, exclusion of HIV-infected health-care workers, testing and treatment of pregnant women and infants, and needle-exchange programmes. He provides an inside account of AIDS policy debates together with commentary.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367434785041,"sku":"CIN0807828300G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807828300.jpg?v=1764162312"},{"product_id":"global-health-law-policy-book-lawrence-o-gostin-9780197687710","title":"Global Health Law \u0026 Policy","description":"Globalization has unleashed the spread of communicable and non-communicable diseases, connected societies through vulnerability to common threats, and revealed the limitations of domestic legislation in addressing economic, social, and political determinants of health. Yet if globalization has presented challenges to disease prevention and health promotion, with the COVID-19 pandemic making clear the governance challenges ahead, global health law offers the promise of bridging national boundaries to alleviate global inequities.  The academic field of global health law analyzes the law and policy frameworks that apply to the new public health threats, non-state actors, and regulatory instruments that structure global health. Arising out of international health law--which narrowly focuses on relationships among states--the field of global health law reflects the changing institutional architecture, norms, and diplomacy necessary to respond to the health threats of the twenty-first century.   The new law and policy frameworks, placing public health obligations on the global community of state and non-state actors, ensure justice in global health through institutions that embrace values of transparent governance, multisectoral engagement, and legal accountability. As the study and practice of global health law has expanded over the past decade, and especially through the COVID-19 response, students and scholars require a foundational text to comprehend this shifting landscape.   Lawrence O. Gostin and Benjamin Mason Meier have edited this text to help readers understand the promise of law and policy in global health. Assembling leading academics across the field of global health law, this volume (1) explains the conceptual frameworks and governance institutions that define the field, (2) applies global health governance to disease prevention and health promotion, (3) examines economic institutions that influence global health, and (4) analyzes international legal efforts to address rising health threats.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50464013222161,"sku":"NGR9780197687710","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999928848657,"sku":"NIN9780197687710","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52888776278289,"sku":"CIN0197687717LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0197687717.jpg?v=1750693904"},{"product_id":"foundations-of-global-health-human-rights-book-lawrence-gostin-9780197528303","title":"Foundations of Global Health \u0026 Human Rights","description":"Human rights are essential to global health, yet rising threats in an increasingly divided world are challenging the progressive evolution of health-related human rights.
