This book tackles crucial and timely questions regarding the impact of international trade and investment law on state regulatory autonomy in crafting and executing measures to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Although non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancers, diabetes, and heart diseases are preventable, they have risen dramatically over the last 30 years. This is in part due to increased international trade and foreign direct investment in the tobacco, alcohol and food industries.


As governments attempt to regulate these industries, this book raises important and timely questions about the relationship between public health and international trade and investment law.


Providing a clear and succinct analysis of the relevant trade and investment regimes and the obligations they impose, this book identifies the key principles that must be considered when formulating and implementing NCD prevention strategies that are both effective and able to withstand legal challenges.

Amandine Garde is Professor of Law and Director of the Law and Non-Communicable Diseases Research Unit at the University of Liverpool. Gregory Messenger is Professor of Trade Law and Policy at the University of Bristol and Co-Director of the Trade and Public Policy (TaPP) Network.
