Public medicine and global security: the challenge and the opportunities.
The new discipline of Global Security Studies is defined as the consideration of transnational issues with global implications that can only be solved by collaborative endeavour. There is a need for new thinking leading to actions for a sustainable future. An analogy is drawn with the preventive activities of public health medicine, and the opportunities presented to Medical Action for Global Security are examined.
