De Gruyter Handbook of Conflict and Health

Understanding the field of conflict and health continues to be crucial in today's geopolitical context - and now more than ever, one might say. The field has many stellar contributors, and a few centers of academic excellence, but it has not yet been recognized broadly as a key component of public health by donors, national health research agencies, university accreditors or publishers. This handbook is a decisive and timely contribution to the advancement of the field.

Covering topics such as the role of global organizations, sexual and gender-based violence in the context of conflict, the psychology of security and risk, physical and mental trauma, food security, climate change, the decolonization of humanitarian aid, reproductive health, the role of technology, and many other critical issues, this volume is an essential resource for students, scholars and practitioners interested in conflict and health.
