As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, health touches on and is influenced by almost every aspect of human society. Books on global health law are therefore ambitious projects. Global Health Law & Policy is no different and does an admirable job in not only providing expert perspectives across a complex and wide-ranging field but doing so in a way that provides an accessible introduction to students to the range of topics in modern global health law.

"The challenges of global health inequity are great, and the prospects of acting on the social determinants of these inequities complex. This new book provides an invaluable guide to policies for global governance for health and the legal steps necessary to achieve much needed change. Rather than adding to a bewildering global picture, it provides a much needed guide though the thicket." -- Michael Marmot, Director, UCL Institute of Health Equity "The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the importance of global health law in responding to the public health harms of an interconnected world. By examining the global governance systems that structure global health law, this central interdisciplinary text will prepare the next generation to advance law and policy in global health, redressing global inequities and promoting sustainable development." --Helen Clark, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand and UNDP Administrator "States were slow to recognize the importance of law in global health, and until now, no text broadly surveyed these crucial legal frameworks, embracing nonstate actors, regulatory norms, legal accountability, and multisectoral governance. Global Health Law & Policy fills this gap, with a sterling cast of authors examining legal and policy tools to achieve a healthy world and humane globalization." --Harold Hongju Koh, Sterling Professor of International Law, Yale Law School & U.S. State Department Legal Adviser "Global health law provides a foundation for human rights in global health, with law and policy reforms necessary to decolonize global governance and reshape power relations in global health. This groundbreaking text will provide human rights defenders with crucial knowledge to advance our global struggle for justice in public health, learning from past challenges to realize health as a human right." --Tlaleng Mofokeng, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health "As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, health touches on and is influenced by almost every aspect of human society. Books on global health law are therefore ambitious projects. Global Health Law & Policy is no different and does an admirable job in not only providing expert perspectives across a complex and wide-ranging field but doing so in a way that provides an accessible introduction to students to the range of topics in modern global health law." -- Melbourne Journal of International Law
