Today's era of intense globalization has unleashed dynamic
movements of people, pathogens, and pests that overwhelm the static
territorial jurisdictions on which the governance provided by
sovereign states and their formal intergovernmental institutions is
based. This world of movement calls for new ideas and institutions
to govern people's health, above all in Africa, where the movements
and health challenges are the most acute. This book insightfully
explores these challenges in ways that put the perspectives of
Africans themselves at centre stage. It begins with the long
central and still compelling African health challenge of combating
the pandemic of HIV/AIDS. It then examines the global governance
responses by the major multilateral organizations of the World Bank
and the World Trade Organization and the newer informal flexible
democratically oriented ones of the Group of Eight. It also
addresses the compounding health challenge created by climate
change to assess both its intensifying impact on Africa and how all
international institutions have largely failed to link climate and
health in their governance response. It concludes with several
recommendations about the innovative ideas and institutions that
offer a way to closing the great global governance gaps and thus
improving Africans' health and that of citizens beyond.
