Overview

'Theodore has chosen the hard life of a persistent fighter of conscience with his powerful pen against super-power chauvinism socially irresponsible neoliberalism and indecisive leadership in the UN and many of its agencies. His writings deal critically and extensively with many layers of social injustice as they impact on the health and rights of peoples in the third world. Analytically scrupulous. His rich experience gained in working as a doctor in many third world countries and interacting with different cultures has obviously opened such important and credible intellectual resources to him. These he employs to equip social advocates and the suffering peoples themselves to understand the political sociocultural and economic determinants of the social injustices they suffer. This book is.analytically scrupulous. timely and appropriate.' Mathura P Shrestha in his Foreword This remarkable book offers enlightening reading for everyone interested in international law human rights global health public health and health promotion.

It is also of great interest to policy makers and shapers in communities and government political activists and all those with an interest in equality and globalisation.
