Political Determinants of Health in Australia : A Planetary Perspective

Exposing the explicit and implicit relationships between politics, political decisions and public policy within a planetary perspective, this textbook focuses on the importance of the political environment as a determinant of population health outcomes. Sendall, Mutch and Fitzgerald bring together a team of experts in public health, health policy and planetary health in Australia to examine the political factors that determine population health outcomes. They take a student-centred approach, explaining complex concepts in an interactive, engaging, and thought-provoking way within a logical, easy to navigate structure. Each chapter takes on key contemporary public health issues, such as family, work, diversity, housing, energy, education, food and waste, examining it within the context of politics, policy and health outcomes from a planetary perspective. There is a comprehensive suite of learning activities within each chapter, catering to diverse learning styles and prior knowledge to encourage critical thinking. An essential text for students of public health, health promotion, and health policy.
