Global epidemics and poverty: strategies for disease containment in an interconnected world

Throughout human history, infectious diseases and epidemics have repeatedly wiped out entire regions, triggered mass migrations and decided wars. But even and especially today, in the course of the increasing globalization of our world, infectious diseases have lost none of their threat. They affect all areas of our lives, are the subject of research and medicine, shape society and culture, and influence the economy and politics.
This volume not only describes the risk of epidemics in a globalized world, but also presents possibilities and strategies for containing them. What can we do to avoid an impending danger?
