Illicit medicines in the Global South : public health access and pharmaceutical regulation / Mathieu Quet. - 1 online resource
"Translation from French Edition: Impostures pharmaceutiques. Médicaments illicites et luttes pour l'accès à la santé by © Editions La Découverte, Paris, 2018."
Introduction: Faith in Fakes? -- In the beginning, a conflict -- The pharmaceutical globalization -- Selling at all costs -- The regulatory turn to security -- The exercise of pharmaceutical control -- Logistic regimes and the exercise of power -- Diverting flows, contesting power.
"This book investigates pharmaceutical regulation and the public health issue of fake or illicit medicines in developing countries. The book analyses the evolution of pharmaceutical capitalism, showing how the entanglement of market and health interests has come to shape global regulation. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in India, Kenya and Europe, it demonstrates how large pharmaceutical companies have used the fight against fake medicines to serve their strategic interests and protect their monopolies, sometimes to the detriment of access to medicines in developing countries. The book investigates how the contemporary dynamics of pharmaceutical power in global markets have gone on to shape societies locally, resulting in more security-oriented policies. These processes highlight the key consequences of contemporary "logistical regimes" for access to health. Providing important insights on how the flows of commodities, persons, and knowledge shape contemporary access to medicines in the developing countries, this book will be of considerable interest to policy makers and regulators, and to scholars and students across sociology, science and technology studies, global health, and development studies"--
