This Routledge FreeBook highlights some of the major findings that have emerged over the last decade of the STEPS Centre’s research on health and disease.
This new collection draws on four books in the series, together addressing three themes central to understanding how pathways to sustainability emerge in response to health and disease challenges. The three themes are Social justice (who wins or loses from disease and how health policy is focused), Politics (how health and disease responses are framed, both locally and internationally) and Governance (how health policies are defined, and how health technologies are regulated and controlled).
The FreeBook features a brand new introduction by Prof Ian Scoones, director of the STEPS Centre, followed by six chapters from the series:
