DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by John Coggon\, Professor of Law and the Ph
 ilosophy of Public Health\, University of Southampton\, which is taking pl
 ace in the Institute for Health and Social Policy seminar room.\nAbstract
 \nBuilding on evidence concerning the social determinants of health\, a gr
 owing body of works within public health ethics has developed that sees so
 und health policy as being founded on concepts of social justice. However\
 , there are scholars who deny the validity of theories that recommend the 
 redistribution of resources with the aim of improving population health. S
 uch protagonists advance arguments on empirical\, theoretical\, and normat
 ive grounds. Within public and political arenas\, furthermore\, we can obs
 erve a dominant position given to individual liberty\, and a resistance to
  coercive policies\, which are viewed as ‘nanny-statism’. In parallel with
  the apparently irresolvable ideological debates\, therefore\, we find put
 ative middle-way approaches to health policy\, such as ‘nudge’. These are 
 given as a theoretically and ethically robust—and practically realisable—m
 eans of achieving better health\, without offending apparent side-constrai
 nts on what constitutes legitimate government activity. With a focus on st
 rategy and practical developments in relation to tobacco regulation\, this
  paper explores political morality in long game health policies. It compar
 es\, and draws parallels between\, debates on legal moralism and health pr
 omotion\, and questions why concerns about moralism seem less acute when a
  goal—say eradication of smoking—is aimed to be achieved over decades\, ra
 ther than through near-term prohibition.\nAbout the speaker\nJohn Coggon L
