"A brilliant analysis of the intersection of the fields. I strongly recommend this book to academics and professionals working internationally in the field of public health, irrespective of whether they come from a health or an international relations background."
--Health Sociology Review

"Deserves a wide readership among scholars of global health and international relations, particularly as it could foster greater inter-disciplinary collaboration between researchers in these fields."
--International Affairs

"Colin McInnes and Kelley Lee give us an enormously rich exposition of the modern global health enterprise. Global Health and International Relations must be read, as it offers the most sophisticated and penetrating analysis of global health governance in the literature. I will have their book on my shelf as a critical reference for my scholarship on, and advocacy for, global health with justice."
--Lawrence Gostin, Johns Hopkins University

"McInnes and Lee have clearly demonstrated the link between international relations and global health, and in language understood by both target audiences. By doing so, they have brought to life the Oslo Ministerial Declaration of 2007 in which ministers of foreign affairs from seven countries stated that global health is a pressing foreign policy issue."
--David L. Heymann, Chatham House Centre on Global Health Security

"It has been clear for many years that the traditionally distinct fields of health studies and international relations needed to be connected in both academic and policy domains. At last, we have a comprehensive engagement connecting these intellectual spaces from two outstanding experts."
--Stuart Croft, University of Warwick
