  abstract = {{A}lthough our book addresses colonial legacies, our collective research focuses on modern-day cycles of globalization with a concentration on three major shifts since the 1970s: the new geography of the pharmaceutical industry; the growth of {S}outh-{S}outh trade, not only in imports of final products and raw materials, but of experts and direct investments; and the appearance of global donor groups beginning in the 2000s that provide pharmaceutical treatments on a mass scale as part of the {G}lobal {H}ealth framework. {F}rom theoretical works in history and anthropology, we highlight six kinds of regulation that are at play in the {G}lobal {S}outh societies that we studied: administrative, professional, industrial, commercial, global, and popular. {T}he histories of each of the four countries we examine  - {B}enin, {G}hana, {C}{\^o}te d'{I}voire, and {C}ambodia and their regional industrial and political contexts determine the differences in how these various regulations are deployed, leading us to understand these markets as dynamic, open, and conflicting systems. {T}he introduction ends with a detailed description of the methodology we used, which mixes ethnography, archive consultation, and questionnaires given to representative samples of the population.},
