Summary
Introduction to Section 1
This section outlines the doctrine of international health policies that have prevailed over the past 25 years, acknowledging that implementation has varied a great deal from place to place and over time. Chapter 1 delineates the paradigm of contemporary international health policies. Chapter 2 provides a summary of our concerns about them. This section thus serves as the basis for, and as an introduction to, the main elements of the book.
