The book "Global Health and International Relations" by Colin McInnes and Kelley Lee is a comprehensive study on two rarely examined fields: health at an international level and intergovernmental relations.

Taking into account the changes that have occurred in recent years, after the end of the Cold War and the advent of globalization, the authors focus on the interaction between the two fields, moving on four axes: health diplomacy and foreign policy, international political economy and global health, global health governance, and health security with an emphasis on biosecurity, topics that are thoroughly examined in separate chapters.

Given that political action affects health - and vice versa - and that interactions between states are more intense than ever before in history, the book highlights the concept of "global health policy" and with eloquent examples highlights this "dialogue" between political action and health issues that often arise and concern the entire planet.

In addition to its original subject matter, this study is certainly a reading that interests not only specialists but also anyone with broader concerns about health problems and how they are addressed by governments at an international level.
