Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eRecent epidemics have prompted large-scale international interventions, aimed at mitigating the spread of disease in a globalized world. During a crisis, however, global health actions – including planning and organizing, communicating about risk, and cost–benefit evaluations – aren’t usually part of a single, integrated global response. Arguing that an uncoordinated approach can be challenged by local conditions and expectations, generating a wide range of resistance and difficulties, this volume provides important insights for future outbreak management and global health governance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on experiences with A(H1N1) and Ebola virus disease, the book is divided into three parts looking at how responses to global health crises have developed, lessons learned from particular pandemics and the ethical implications of our management of them. Individual chapters focus on, among other issues, financing, cost–benefit analysis, matrix management, risk communication and organizational strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking a social science perspective, this valuable book outlines the current state of global health emergency responses and explores ways in which they can be improved. It is a useful read for academics and practitioners interested in global health, the sociology of health and illness, health economics and emergency management.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   About the Author   \u003cp\u003eMathilde Bourrier is Professor in the Department of Sociology, University of Geneva, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathalie Brender is Associate Professor in the Geneva School of Business Administration, HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaudine Burton-Jeangros is Professor in the Department of Sociology, University of Geneva, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e                                           ","brand":"Mathilde Bourrier, Nathalie Brender, Claudine Burton-Jeangros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070464151786,"sku":"9781138578999","price":195.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/71yRy8DRscL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781263516","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/managing-the-global-health-response-to-epidemics-social-science-perspectives-routledge-studies-in-public-health","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
