Overview

Public health policies are increasingly the subject of global trade and investment disputes. What are the consequences of this trend for existing and future policies designed to protect the public interest? This book uses the concept of political conflict to examine the effects of globalization on tobacco control policies. Arguing that the scope of a political conflict which voices can be heard in a particular debate, and which individuals or groups are excluded - has a significant effect on support for public health policies, the book examines how the global trading system has narrowed the scope of conflicts over tobacco control. Analyzing challenges to policies enacted by Australia, Canada, the United States, the European Union and Uruguay, this book offers a critical look at the exclusionary global trading system and outlines what can be done to fix it.
