The profound changes to the world economy since the late twentieth
century have been characterised by a growth in the number and size of
transnational corporations. In this context, there is now increasing
evidence of unprecedented reversals in health indicators among
populations around the world. Research in this area has focused on
documenting the global health impacts arising from the economic
activity of corporations. The challenge for public health researchers
is to understand the ways in which corporations are regulated by, and
participate in global health governance and implications for health
and well-being across the globe. This book is an introductory guide to
conducting research on the role of corporations in global health
governance from a range of disciplinary perspectives and gives an
overview of different approaches, methodologies and data sources.
Also, for case studies providing interdisciplinary empirical analysis
of the impact of corporations on global health and global health
governance, see the partner volume:
