Global Health Law Research Guide

This 2018 book lays out the profound health challenges facing the world today and offers a new theory of justice and governance as a way to resolve these seemingly intractable problems. In a world of staggering inequalities, epidemics, and inadequacies of current models a new architecture of central health systems is desperately needed.

This book by Georgetown Law Professor Lawrence Gostin looks at staggering health inequalities between rich and poor still remain, raising fundamental questions of social justice. Gostin shows how critical it is for institutions and international agreements to focus not only on illness but also on the essential conditions that enable people to stay healthy throughout their lifespan: nutrition, clean water, mosquito control, and tobacco reduction. He proposes major reforms of global health institutions and governments to ensure better coordination, more transparency, accountability, advocacy, and public discourse in global health.
