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.  Abstract 
  Building on evidence concerning the social determinants of health\, a gro
 wing body of works within public health ethics has developed that sees sou
 nd health policy as being founded on concepts of social justice. However\,
  there are scholars who deny the validity of theories that recommend the r
 edistribution of resources with the aim of improving population health. Su
 ch protagonists advance arguments on empirical\, theoretical\, and normati
 ve grounds. Within public and political arenas\, furthermore\, we can obse
 rve 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 puta
 tive middle-way approaches to health policy\, such as ‘nudge’. These are g
 iven as a theoretically and ethically robust—and practically realisable—me
 ans of achieving better health\, without offending apparent side-constrain
 ts on what constitutes legitimate government activity. With a focus on str
 ategy and practical developments in relation to tobacco regulation\, this 
 paper explores political morality in long game health policies. It compare
 s\, and draws parallels between\, debates on legal moralism and health pro
 motion\, and questions why concerns about moralism seem less acute when a 
 goal—say eradication of smoking—is aimed to be achieved over decades\, rat
 her than through near-term prohibition.  About the speaker  John Coggon LL
