The International Politics of Ebola, Paperback / softback Book

The International Politics of Ebola Paperback / softback

Edited by Anne (University of Sussex, UK) Roemer-Mahler, Simon Rushton

Part of the ThirdWorlds series

Paperback / softback

Description

The outbreak of Ebola virus disease that gripped Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone through much of 2014 and 2015 was undoubtedly a health emergency, yet it was also a global political event.

This book examines the international politics of the Ebola outbreak in all of its dimensions, critically assessing the global response, examining what the outbreak can tell us about contemporary global health governance, and examining the inequalities and injustices that were laid bare.

In doing so, the book shows how some of the concepts, debates and findings from the growing field of global health research in International Relations can help both in furthering understanding of the Ebola crisis and also in improving policy responses to future infectious disease outbreaks.

This book was originally published as a special edition of Third World Quarterly.
