Reviews

"""A superb evaluation of accountability in the pharmaceutical sector. Fierlbeck, Graham, Herder, and the contributors offer an authoritative and insightful assessment of the limited transparency that prevents us from seeing what is really happening as new drugs are assessed and approved. The authors compare international approaches that offer perspectives on how we can keep our trust in the safety of medicines and the stakeholders involved in regulatory processes.""--Mary E. Wiktorowicz, Professor of Global Health Governance and Policy and Associate Director of the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research, York University ""Transparency, Power, and Influence in the Pharmaceutical Industry is thoroughly researched, extremely well documented, and well written. The contributors are superbly acquainted with the literature on the subjects they write about, and I know many of them encounter their world as both public-interest academics and advocates, people who pursue studies in the public interest and carry out their academic work in the spirit of making the world a more just place.""--Alan Cassels, Drug Policy Researcher, University of Victoria"
