Often overlooked are the human costs of war, particularly their effects on population well-being. In \u003ci\u003eWar and the Health of Nations\u003c\/i\u003e, Zaryab Iqbal explores these human costs by offering the first large-scale empirical study of the relationship between armed conflict and population health. Working within the influential \"human security\" paradigm--which emphasizes the security of populations rather than states as the central object of global security--Iqbal analyzes the direct and indirect mechanisms through which violent conflict degrades population health. In addition to battlefield casualties, these include war's detrimental economic effects, its role in the creation of refugees and forced migration, and the destruction of societies' infrastructure. In doing so, she provides a comprehensive picture of the processes through which war and violent conflict affect public health and the well-being of societies in a cross-national context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWar and the Health of Nations\u003c\/i\u003e provides a conceptual and theoretical framework for understanding the influence of violent interstate and intrastate conflict on the quality of life of populations and empirically analyzes the war-and-health relationship through statistical models using a universal sample of states. The analyses provide strong evidence for the direct as well as the indirect effects of war on public health and offer important insights into key socio-economic determinants of health achievement. The book thus demonstrates the significance of population health as an important consequence of armed conflict and highlights the role of societal vulnerabilities in studies of global security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zaryab Iqbal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804758816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804758819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2010 pg. 77","brand":"Zaryab Iqbal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120258806015,"sku":"9780804758819","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac56d913-1691-4a15-86fc-16b0e21b2d5f.jpg?v=1687413348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-and-the-health-of-zaryab-iqbal-9780804758819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
