Public Health Policy and Ethics brings together philosophers and practitioners to address the foundations and principles upon which public health policy may be advanced – especially in the international arena.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This collection of essays by noted public health scholars and professionals broadly defines public health and explores questions of its international policy and ethics. … This should be of interest to those involved in public health policy and ethics, and in how international politics, law, culture, history, disparities, etc., complicate this field. … This is a good introduction to the increasingly important field of international public health." (Daniel Bustillos, Doody’s Review Services, December, 2008)
