Brexit, trade and the governance of non-communicable diseases
Covid-19 data are messy
Brexit and trade policy
BACKGROUND: There is an extensive body of research demonstrating that trade and globalisation can have wide-ranging implications for health. Robust governance is key to ensuring that health, social justice and sustainability are key considerations within trade policy, and that health risks from trade are effectively mitigated and benefits are maximised. The UK's departure from the EU provides a rare opportunity to examine a context where trade go…

Here we allow the words of Coca-Cola employees to speak about how the corporation intended to adva…
