A Capability Approach to Global Health

A Capability Approach to Global Health explores the growing debate about the globalisation of health and whether global health policies and practices should be instituted--and if so to what extent.

The capability approach is an increasingly popular approach to the study of global justice and global ethics. The book addressess practical global ethical concerns through this framework, for example the ethics of kidney sale and participation in research. Thus the book aims to provide a new approach to conceptualising health and a framework which can be used in addressing practice and developing policy in the global context.

A Capability Approach to Global Health will be of interest to students and scholars of globalisation and the politics of health and healthcare.
