Global Health Law

Edited by Gian Luca Burci, Adjunct Professor of International Law, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland

‘This is an indispensable collection of seminal contributions to global health law. Global health law has come a long way in a short time, but it remains in its infancy. The issues are huge, complex and vital – and they demand interdisciplinarity. As we search for global approaches to global health problems, these twin volumes of primarily legal perspectives will provide an extremely rich resource.’
