Global Health and Security

Illuminating the intersections across gender, health, and security, this collection looks at how feminist perspectives on health and security lead to different questions about health and in/security, problematizing some of the ‘common sense’ assumptions that underlie much of the existing discourse. Divided into two thematic clusters, the first part focuses on conflict, war and complex emergencies, amplifying their orthodox situation within International Relations. The second reviews the themes of structural violence and human security. This book is an important contribution to scholarship on health and security, global health, public health and gender studies.
