This timely book examines the interaction of health research and regulation with law through empirical analysis and the application of key anthropological concepts to reveal the inner workings of human health research. Through ground-breaking empirical inquiry, Regulatory Stewardship of Health Research explores how research ethics committees (RECs) work in practice to both protect research participants and promote ethical research. This thought-provoking book provides a new perspective on the regulation of health research by demonstrating how RECs and other regulatory actors seek to fulfil these two functions by performing a role of ‘regulatory stewardship’.

Regulatory Stewardship of Health Research
Navigating Participant Protection and Research Promotion
Edward S. Dove
The State, Business and Education
Public-Private Partnerships Revisited
Edited by Gita Steiner-Khamsi and Alexandra Draxler
The State, Business and Education contributes to the ongoing debates surrounding the effects
of public funding of private entities by examining the ways in which they affect the quality and
equity of those services, and the realization of human rights. Using case studies from both the
developing and developed world this book illustrates the variety of ways in which private actors
have expanded their involvement in education as a business.
