Drawing on international research, this book provides a critical review of the current state of health promotion research. It maps out key debates and draws out major themes in order to demonstrate the benefits of re-conceptualizing the field of health promotion as a collaborative and integrative enterprise, rather than as a battlefield for disciplinary and intellectual clashes.
