Countless public health agencies are trying to solve our most
intractable public health problems - among them, the obesity and
opioid epidemics - by partnering with corporations responsible for
creating or exacerbating those problems. We are told industry must
be part of the solution. But is it time to challenge the
partnership paradigm and the popular narratives that sustain it? In
The Perils of Partnership, Jonathan H. Marks argues that
public-private partnerships and multi-stakeholder initiatives
create "webs of influence" that undermine the integrity of public
health agencies; distort public health research and policy; and
reinforce the framing of public health problems and their solutions
in ways that are least threatening to the commercial interests of
corporate "partners". We should expect multinational corporations
to develop strategies of influence - but public bodies can and
should develop counter-strategies to insulate themselves from
corporate influence in all its forms. Marks reviews the norms that
regulate public-public interactions (separation of powers) and
private-private interactions (antitrust and competition law), and
argues for an analogous set of norms to govern public-private
interactions. He also offers a novel framework to help public
bodies identify the systemic ethical implications of their current
or proposed relationships with industry actors. Marks makes a
compelling case that the default public-private interaction should
be at arm's length: separation, not collaboration. He calls for a
new paradigm that avoids the perils of corporate influence and more
effectively protects and promotes public health. The Perils of
Partnership is essential reading for public health officials and
policymakers - but anyone interested in public health will
recognize the urgency of this book.
