An Up-to-Date Overview of Global Health Threats and Their Impact on Security
In “The Guide to Global Health, Security and War,” Professors Martin Bricknell and Richard Sullivan present a contemporary and multidisciplinary examination of the connections between health and international affairs. This work delves into the most pressing global health threats today and explores their significant implications for security and stability, offering readers an informed and up-to-date perspective on these critical international issues.
This essential guide covers an extraordinary array of health challenges faced around the globe and their potential consequences for the security of individuals, governments, and the international system as a whole. The text discusses the academic frameworks that underpin global health analysis and international relations, while also addressing how insecurity and conflict disrupt health systems, clinical services, and the broader health research and policy landscape.
Key features include:
– A thorough introduction to global health, detailing the interplay between health determinants, systems, and services
– In-depth reviews of the three levels of security—human, state, and global—and their connections to health outcomes
– Practical discussions on the impact of war on health conditions
– An outline of international humanitarian law and ethical considerations that restrict the horrors of war and human rights violations
This comprehensive handbook on global health, security, and war is designed for undergraduate and graduate students interested in these fields. It also serves as a valuable resource for social scientists, global health researchers, and humanitarian practitioners.
