This edited collection looks at how globalisation is influencing
patterns of health and disease worldwide, in particular how
decisions on health are made and organised. Despite some successes
in developing better global governance for health, overall progress
has been disappointingly slow given the number of health crises
today, both long standing and relatively new. This book explores
how progress has often been limited, but also on occasion assisted,
by the role of ideas. It identifies how health issues, such as
HIV/AIDS, pandemic influenza and tobacco control, are framed in
such a way as to resonate with a set of ideas, or worldviews,
associated with particular policy communities. A successful framing
can generate possibilities for action, but can also lead to
competition when ideas conflict or suggest different pathways of
response. Global Health Governance is therefore an arena of
competition as well as cooperation, where ideas matter as well as
resources and political will. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Global Public Health.
