  • Should Eminence Outweigh Evidence? The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board's Report on Pandemic Preparedness

    Open AccessDavid Bell, George W Brown et al.ARTICLEGlobal Policy2025

    The Global Pandemic Monitoring Board (GPMB) is a group of eminent individuals publishing reports calling for increased emphasis on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPPR).

  • Urgent pandemic messaging of WHO , World Bank, and G20 is inconsistent with their evidence base

    Open AccessDavid Bell, George W Brown et al.ARTICLEGlobal Policy2024

    When international agencies make claims of an “existential threat” to humanity and advocate for urgent action from countries, it should be a safe assumption that they are consistent with their own data. However, a review of the data and evidentiary citations underlying the claims of the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, and the Group of Twenty (G20) reveals a troubling picture in which the stated urgency and burden of infectious di…

  • The Responsibility for Peace (R4P)

    Open AccessBlagovesta Tacheva, George W Brown et al.ARTICLERivista Italiana di Filosofia…2024

    This article introduces a new conceptualisation of the relationship between global distributive justice, development, and the study of peace, which we label the Responsibility for Peace (R4P).

  • Challenges in international health financing and implications for the new pandemic fund

    Open AccessGeorge W Brown, Natalie Rhodes et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2023

    BACKGROUND: The failures of the international COVID-19 response highlighted key gaps in pandemic preparedness and response (PPR). The G20 and WHO have called for additional funding of $10.5 billion per year to adequately strengthen the global PPR architecture. In response to these calls, in 2022 the World Bank announced the launch of a new Financial Intermediary Fund (The Pandemic Fund) to catalyse this additional funding. However, there is consi…

  • Global constitutionalism and the responsibility to protect

    Open AccessBlagovesta Tacheva, George W BrownARTICLEGlobal Constitutionalism2015References: 28

    There is recent scholarship suggesting that the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) has now emerged as a master concept in relation to responding to mass atrocity crimes and that the R2P can further be seen as representative of an emerging global constitutional norm. In critical response, this article provides the first attempt to systematically investigate R2P’s relationship with global constitutionalisation as well as to explore its wider implicati…
