Promotional Information

A major contribution to the literature on global health, Disease Diplomacy also offers a significant extension of existing work on the process by which international norms influence state compliance. This book will speak to students and scholars of international relations who are interested in how new global norms emerge, spread, and are internalized by states, as well as to anyone interested in the World Health Organization and the new global health regime. -- Susan Peterson, The College of William & Mary
