Böcker av Andrew F. Cooper

This volume addresses the ideational and policy-oriented challenges of Africa's health governance due to voluntary and involuntary cross-border migration of people and diseases in a growing 'mobile Africa'.

Today's era of intense globalization has unleashed dynamic movements of people, pathogens, and pests that overwhelm the static territorial jurisdictions on which the governance provided by sovereign states and their formal intergovernmental institutions is based.

Addresses questions of pandemics, essential medicines and disease eradication through detailed case studies of a range of issues providing coverage of critical and rapidly spreading infectious diseases and 'lifestyle' illnesses such as SARS, Polio Plus and tobacco control all of which are at the centre of the global health challenge.

The first book to examine celebrity diplomacy as a serious global project with important implications, both positive and negative.
