Ultimately this book shows two things. The first is that global public health is at a moment when there will be change. Its importance may be questioned and ignored. The challenge it to make itreally 'public' in a global sense. Given the 2008 economic crisis this may not be easy.Secondly there needs to be a fundamental realignment of global politics and economics. Ironically the events of 2008 mean that this is closerto being possible than has been recently. There are opportunities for those of us concerned by ensuring the world has a healthier population to intervene and influence as this book has the potential to do. Alan Whiteside Director, Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. Poverty and inequalityare among the most significant determinants of health. Therefore, increased inequality gaps associated with globalization have serious, deleterious implications for global health. Global changes in political economy are shaping who wins and who loses in the global order, and in terms of global health, influencing which groups of people bear the greatest burden from epidemics of both infectious and chronic diseases, unhealthy environments, and lack of access to health care and medicine. The new structures of global health governance that have emerged are distinguished by their complexity, involving collaborations of state, inter-state and non-state actors from local though global levels of action and interaction. Examining this governance architecture through a politicaleconomy lens, this volume explores possible improvements to global health, as well as the problems that stem from the power differentialswithin this governance nexus.
