Book info: Global Health Law (International Law series, 14) (Hardcover, 1384 pages) – Edward Elgar Publishing, 2016. Language: English.

This two-volume set gathers together some of the most significant contributions to the study of global health law. Global health law is a recent field of research in its own right, encompassing the relatively narrow core of international rules and institutions devoted to health protection and promotion, as well as the complex interactions between health and multiple areas of international law. By bringing such diverse perspectives into a single collection, together with an original introduction by the editor, this book will be an important resource for scholars and practitioners both in public health as well as in legal and policy fields such as trade and investment, human rights and the environment. Editorial Reviews Review ‘This is an indispensable collection of seminal contributions to global health law. Global health law has come a long way in a short time, but it remains in its infancy. The issues are huge, complex and vital – and they demand interdisciplinarity. As we search for global approaches to global health problems, these twin volumes of primarily legal perspectives will provide an extremely rich resource.’ -- Paul Hunt, University of Essex School of Law, UK About the Author Edited by Gian Luca Burci, Adjunct Professor of International Law, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland
