Klappentext zu „Global Health Leadership “
This timely book serves as an overview of the challenges in global health leadership from multiple perspectives, bringing together an interdisciplinary group of academics, researchers, and leaders from around the world who are conducting innovative and high-quality research in the field of global health (GH). The book helps illustrate theoretical and conceptual ideas of leadership using recent examples of GH challenges from the Asia-Pacific region.Leadership is an important element of education and training in GH. Leadership can be demonstrated by many sectors, including local and national government, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, multilateral organizations, civil society, and private individuals and corporations. The cases included in this book provide an analysis of the major components to successful efforts in GH, including cooperation, cultural competency, vision, and community ownership.
Given that GH practice is typically conducted in team settings with members from various backgrounds, this book provides students, faculty, and professionals in public health and related fields with an opportunity to examine multiple examples of leadership in different contexts. Readers learn how leaders have overcome challenges faced in the operationalization of complex health interventions, foreign policy, and working with key stakeholders and organizations.

More information about The Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) APRU is a nonprofit association of 45 leading Pacific Rim academic and research institutions. Members come from all over the region, including Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, and the U.S., among others. Established in 1997, APRU contributes to the development of an increasingly integrated Pacific Rim community. Witnessing the rapid economic integration of the region and the formation of APEC, APRU's founding presidents' vision was to establish a premier alliance of research universities as an advisory body to international organizations, governments, and business on the development of science and innovation, as well as on the broader development of higher education. The network's members collaborate to address key social, environmental, and economic challenges in the region and around the world. The APRU Global Health Hub leverages the program's interdisciplinary research and education to address key issues facing the region, including community development, environmental sustainability, poverty reduction, reducing health disparities, and workplace wellness. The Global Health (GH) Hub is hosted by University of Southern California, managed by Dr. Mellissa Withers, and partners with the USC Global Health Institute.
