New book co-edited by Prof. Franklyn Lisk and Hany Besada
Professor , Professorial Research Fellow for CSGR, and , a PhD candidate here in PAIS, have co-edited the new book Moving Health Sovereignty in Africa. The book is also co-edited by John J. Kirton, University of Toronto, Canada and Andrew F. Cooper, University of Waterloo, Canada.
Today’s era of intense globalization has unleashed dynamic movements of people, pathogens, and pests that overwhelm the static territorial jurisdictions on which the governance provided by sovereign states and their formal intergovernmental institutions is based. This book insightfully explores the challenges this creates in ways that put the perspectives of Africans themselves at centre stage.
‘A timely and much needed analysis of a continent undergoing rapid transition resulting in complex health consequences. Africa’s experiences of globalization are poorly understood so far, yet need to be urgently grappled with for effective governance to be built locally and regionally. This book takes us neatly forward in this task.’
