In the 1980s, health was a marginal issue on the international
political agenda, and it barely figured into donor states' foreign
aid allocation. Within a generation, health had developed a robust
set of governance structures that drive significant global
political action, incorporate a wide range of actors, and receive
increasing levels of funding. What explains this dramatic change
over such a short period of time? Drawing on the English School of
international relations theory, this book argues that global health
has emerged as a secondary institution within international
society. Rather than being a side issue, global health now occupies
an important role. Addressing global health issues-financially,
organizationally, and politically-is part of how actors demonstrate
their willingness and ability to help realize their moral
responsibility and obligation to others. In this way, it
demonstrates how global health governance has emerged, grown, and
persisted-even in the face of global economic challenges and
inadequate responses to particular health crises. The book also
shows how English School conceptions of international society would
benefit from expanding their analytical gaze to address
international economic issues and incorporate non-state actors. The
book begins by building a case for using the English School to
understand the role of global health governance before looking at
global health governance's place in international society through
case studies about the growth of development assistance for health,
the international response to the Ebola outbreak, and China's role
within the global health governance framework. .
