Description: Global Public Health Vigilance : Creating a World on Alert, Hardcover by Weir, Lorna; Mykhalovskiy, Eric, ISBN 0415958423, ISBN-13 9780415958424, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In an effort to revitalize the sociology of public health, this book examines changes that have occurred since the late 1990s in how international public health authorities come to know about internationally significant infectious disease outbreaks and other emergencies. Covering both theory and empirical findings, the study analyzes the transformation in international communicable disease control in terms of three processes: the impact of a new disease concept called 'emerging infectious diseases (EID), the invention of a monitoring technique called 'online early warning outbreak detection,' and the formation of a politico-juridical regime dealing with international public health emergencies. A conclusion looks at the World Health Organization as a suprasovereign power. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
