Drawing on anthropology, historical sociology and social-epidemiology, this multidisciplinary book investigates how pharmaceuticals are produced, distributed, prescribed, (and) consumed, and regulated in order to construct a comprehensive understanding of the issues that drive (medicine) pharmaceutical markets in the Global South today.

Introduction-Pharmaceutical markets in the Global South: shaped by history and multiple regulations Part I. Varying choices for State regulation and their consequences 1.Strengthening national pharmaceutical regulation through local production 2.Strengths and weaknesses of State-controlled wholesale distribution: Benin's CAME and wholesaler-distributors 3.Distribution and access to medicines: role of the pharmacist monopoly 4.From depharmaceuticalization to drug abundance: a social history of pharmaceutic regulations in Cambodia Part II. Global and local markets of new antimalarials 5.A new geography of pharmaceuticals: trajectories of artemisinin-based medicines 6.Clashes between subsidized and private ACT markets: when administrative, Global Health, and marketing regulations collide 7.When the pharmaceutical system creates persistent attachments or new appropriations of drug molecules: divergent ACT distribution and use in Benin and Ghana 8.Standardized herbal medicines in Ghana: the construction of a substantial share of the medicine market, especially for malaria Part III. Pharmaceuticalization: medicines at the heart of health systems and societies 9.Pharmaceutical representative activities in Benin and Ghana: promoting firms while helping construct the pharmaceutical economy of African countries 10.Self-medication versus consultation: individual autonomy and dependence in health decisions 11.When subjective quality shapes the whole economy of pharmaceutical distribution and production. Conclusion-Rationalizing drug markets in the Global South: re-making medicines essential
