The first part of the book employs the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories to examine strategy as an exchange of messages between adversaries, within the framework of underlying power relations. The messages to be exchanged are constructed from a vast 'alphabet of tactics available to each contender, in a broad sense. The second part of the book explores four case histories from this perspective, spanning from agribusiness-generated pandemics to tuberculosis and COVID-19. The final chapter aims to provide a strategic synthesis that is more specifically applicable to public health than to the remarkably close parallel of armed conflict. By adopting a unique approach to public health tactics and strategy, this volume will appeal to social epidemiologists, public health economists, public policy scientists, as well as public health researchers and practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 547g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030835774\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102959661306,"sku":"9783030835774","price":102.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_675d3670-46cf-4adf-b7e4-ca564d89ef29.jpg?v=1669650003","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/essays-on-strategy-and-public-health-the-systematic-reconfiguration-of-power-relations-9783030835774","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
