  abstract = {{D}rawing on anthropology, historical sociology and social-epidemiology, this multidisciplinary book investigates how pharmaceuticals are produced, distributed, prescribed, consumed and regulated in order to construct a comprehensive understanding of the issues that drive pharmaceutical markets in the {G}lobal {S}outh today. {B}ased on primary research conducted in {B}enin and {G}hana, and additional data collected in {C}ambodia and the {I}vory {C}oast, this volume uses artemisinin-based combination therapies ({ACT}s) against malaria as a central case study. {I}t highlights the influence of the countries' colonial and postcolonial history on their models for state regulation, production and distribution, explores the determining role transnational actors as well as industries from the {N}orth but also and increas ingly from the {S}outh play in influencing local pharmaceutical markets and looks at the behaviour of healthcare professionals and individuals. {S}tepping back, the authors then unpick the pharmaceuticalization process and the multiple regulations at stake by looking at the workings of, and linkages between, (biomedical health) pharmaceutical systems, (representatives of companies) industries, actors in private and public distribution and consumer practices. {P}roviding a thorough comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of different pharmaceutical systems, it is an important contribution to the  literature on pharmaceuticalization and the governance of medication. {I}t is of interest to students, researchers and policymakers interested in medical anthropology, the sociology of health and illness, global health, healthcare management and pharmacy.},
