The timing of this book could not be better, with health and wellbeing high on political agendas around the world. However, critical debates surrounding the role of the EU in public health policy predate the pandemic and will continue to have lasting significance.
This book skilfully analyses the EU's role in health protection and promotion, focusing on the power dynamics in EU governance and the epistemological tensions in the field of public health. It draws attention to the connections between public health problems and the underlying political determinants of inequity and precarity and thus the need for a holistic and normative approach to health and wellbeing. The book is thoughtful, provocative, and immaculately assembled. It provides not only a valuable contribution to scholarship on both EU governance and public health, but also to practical debates on how to take forward the health and wellbeing agenda most effectively.
