Recently, global health issues have leapt to the forefront of the international agenda and are now an everyday concern around the world. The war for global health is clearly being lost on many fronts and the massive body count is mounting fast. Re-emerging diseases such as polio and tuberculosis, long thought to be on the verge of elimination, are now coupled with the devastation of newly emerging ones such as SARS and avian influenza. In addition, the shock of bioterrorism has given a tragic poignancy to the importance of studying the failure of the global health governance system.Compiled by

Continuing the tradition that began with the first volume of the "G8 and Global Governance" series in 1998, this 11th volume in the collection explores the current, central themes in the emerging dynamic of global governance. This forward-looking work examines the Genoa summit agenda with a view to strengthening international conflict prevention institutions and identifying and analyzing economic early warning indicators. It devotes particular attention to the Italian contribution and approach and the ways in which it can be effectively implemented following the summit.

How can civil society and global governors come together in new ways to improve links among trade, environmental and social values? In this important and wide-ranging volume, an unparalleled array of contributors examine the many new processes of civil society engagement that have been introduced at the local, regional and global levels. Assessing what more can be done to strengthen the productive partnerships between civil society and global governance, the book draws on the extensive inventory of existing practices and community-based alternatives to demonstrate how particular mechanisms for

This volume focuses on the challenges for sustaining growth in the 21st century and the role of the G7 and IMF in meeting them amidst the processes of regionalism now emerging. It assesses how well the G7 has addressed individually and interrelated ambitiously its core 2002 agenda of sustaining global growth, reducing poverty in Africa, combating terrorism and its financing. It examines how the IMF has approached these issues and related work of the G7. It also explores how both the G7, IMF and other international institutions are addressing global growth and development challenges in the cont

The inextricable link between energy production and reservoir water quality poses an ongoing challenge for civil engineers. Energy production processes can influence reservoir water quality, and reservoir water quality can limit energy production. This book on energy production and reservoir water quality brings together the regulatory framework driving the need for technical evaluations and the details of tools presently available for assessing those issues. Along with six case studies, topics discussed in Energy Production and Reservoir Water Quality include: regulatory framework; fundamenta
