SARS, Governance and the Globalization of Disease provides a comprehensive and original analysis of the historic global SARS outbreak of 2003. David P. Fidler constructs a political pathology of the SARS outbreak, analyzes the government responses to it, places these responses in historical context and assesses the implications of the successful management of the outbreak for handling future pathogenic threats that will arise. The book includes a detailed description of the outbreak and governance responses to it, as well as a focused analysis of China's role in the outbreak.

DAVID P. FIDLER is Professor of Law at Indiana University School of Law. He is one of the world's leading experts in international law and infectious diseases and has published widely in this area, including International Law and Infectious Diseases (1999).
