Pandemics, Science and Policy analyses the World Health Organisation's (WHO) management of the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic. Abeysinghe illustrates the ways in which the WHO's account was vulnerable to contestation, and ultimately how uncertain risks can affect policy and action on the global level.

Sudeepa Abeysinghe is a Lecturer in Global Health Policy in the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh, UK.
