An insightful and contemporary review of current global health threats and their implications for security and stability

In the Handbook of Global Health, Security, and War, Professors Martin Bricknell and Richard Sullivan deliver a fresh, multidisciplinary take on the relationship between health and international affairs. The book explores the most relevant global health threats and their implications for security and stability, providing an up-to-date and authoritative perspective on these international challenges.

This practical guide addresses the unprecedented range of threats to health around the world and their potential to impact the security of populations, states, and the global system. It discusses the academic theories that form the foundations for analysis of global health and international relations. It also examines the impact of insecurity and war on health systems, clinical health services, and the health research and policy agenda.

Readers will also find: - A thorough introduction to global health and the relationships between determinants of health, health systems, and health services
- Comprehensive explorations of the three dimensions of human security, state security, and global security and their relationships to health
- Practical discussions of the health impacts of war
- A summary of international humanitarian law and ethics as constraints on war and human barbarism

Perfect for undergraduate and postgraduate students with an interest in global health and security, the Handbook of Global Health, Security, and War will also benefit social scientists, researchers in global health, and humanitarian practitioners.
