Global Health, Human Rights and Social Justice brings together a constellation of overlapping fields. These include but are not limited to: international human rights law; public law and comparative constitutional law; access to medicines specialists (intellectual property law); bioethics, international environmental law; global health law, legal anthropology and socio-legal studies.
At this pivotal point post pandemic, we require writing scholarship that interrogates the most pressing questions regarding lacunae in specific domains of the law, many of which have been illuminated by the pandemic. However, we also need studies that draw connections between the interlocking problems that face the world from growing socio-economic inequalities within and between countries, global governance for health that has revealed itself to be unfit for purpose, a growing climate crisis which affects global health in a variety of ways, and a context of growing nationalism that threatens global cooperation norms developed since World War II.
Continued siloed work will not yield the transformative thinking that we need to take on any of the challenges the world faces, from future pandemics to climate catastrophe. Thus, the series encourages multi-disciplinary perspectives on the law and on legal strategies across movements.
The book series addresses such questions as: normative development (e.g. a new pandemic treaty/agreement); landmark jurisprudence from supra-national tribunals and important constitutional courts around the world on issues related to health and human rights; advances and backlash relating to reproductive justice; implementation and policy (such as the institutionalization of Universal Health Coverage); philosophical debates regarding global health justice; human rights and ethical implications of biotechnological innovations (e.g. artificial intelligence, heritable gene editing); analysis of growing calls for decolonizing global health, as well as resurgent calls for a ‘right to development’.
A unifying thread throughout the series will focus on historically and/or contextually-situated appraisals of the effectiveness of international law and global institutions in promoting greater population health and social justice.
