Reihe: Social Histories of Medicine

What does global health stem from, when is it born and how does it relate to the contemporary world order? In this book, historians and anthropologists tackle these questions by exploring the transnational circulation of drugs, bugs, therapies, biomedical technologies and people in the context of the “neo-liberal turn” in development practices.
