From Imperialism to the “Golden Age” to the Great Lockdown: The Politics of Global Health Governance
This article reviews the state of the literature on the politics of global health governance and associated political dynamics of actors involved in this issue space. We identify seven eras in the field, beginning with the period of empire and colonialism and ending with the COVID-19 outbreak. The field of global health has long had a focus on infectious disease, often rooted within a state-centered approach to transnational global health problem…
Forum: Did “America First” Construct America Irrelevant
Did "America First" construct America irrelevant? Answering this question has been the subject of much debate in the popular press, the policy community, and scholarly circles. That asked, it is worth remembering that scholars and policymakers have long argued that one of the most enduring and important aspects of the US role in the world is American structural power. Perhaps nowhere has the Trump administration's approach to world affairs been m…
America’s pandemic election
After a prolonged and delayed process, Vice President Joe Biden has started planning his presidential transition. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and his allies have refused to concede the election and are planning a series of lawsuits to overturn the results. While these lawsuits will almost certainly fail, they add yet another measure of uncertainty and confusion to a campaign that has had more than its fair share of unprecedented actions and…
Challenging Institutional Racism in International Relations and Our Profession: Reflections, Experiences, and Strategies
Attempts to create a more inclusive discipline and profession have been commended by many and derided by some. While these attempts have pushed for change, particularly with regards to more equal representation of gender and race among faculty, policies aimed at creating a more inclusive environment are often tokenistic, administrative and bureaucratic, and fail to address structural and institutional practices and norms. Moreover, the administra…
The Oxford Handbook of Global Health Politics
Global health politics has emerged over the last two decades as a distinct, interdisciplinary field of study which, although its boundaries are not set, is beginning to demonstrate signs of maturity. It is concerned with the actions, practices, and policies that govern the sphere of global health. Its emergence is intimately linked with the reconceptualisation of health as global. The field addresses not only the processes of decision-making, but…

Public-private partnering as a modus operandi: Explaining the Gates Foundation’s approach to global health governance
In its first decade, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) focused much of its efforts on enabling the establishment of transnational public-private partnerships (PPPs) oriented towards increasing low-income country (LIC) access to essential health technologies. Critics have argued these efforts further enriched already profitable firms which long ignored the needs of populations with limited purchasing power, while lessening political wil…
The Global HIV/Aids and LGBT Movements
A reciprocal relationship exists between HIV/AIDS and LGBT organizing, both historically and in the current era. This chapter analyses the dynamics of the interconnection between these movements since the first description of the disease we now know as AIDS appeared in 1981. It begins by describing the emergence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and how the first organizations dedicated to HIV/AIDS emerged out of and drew inspiration from LGB…
The role of philanthropy in international relations
Global philanthropy is a significant source of financial resources in contemporary international relations, and it has provoked intense debates about the appropriateness of involving private foundations in global policymaking. Despite these facts, International Relations as a discipline has shown remarkably little reference to philanthropy as an important and relevant actor in global politics. In this article, I make the case for explicitly incor…
Global Health Governance in International Society
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 drove significant global political action, incorporated a wide range of actors, and received increasing levels of funding. What explains this dramatic change over such a short period of time? Drawing on the English Scho…
International Society Confronts Ebola
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa exemplifies both the successes and failures of global health governance as a secondary institution within international society. On the one hand, the international community recognized the need to respond to the Ebola outbreak, contributing large sums of money and mobilizing resources on a scale never before seen. On the other hand, the World Health Organization dithered in its response, the international communi…
Primary Institutions, Secondary Institutions, and Moral Obligation
Institutions are foundational to the English School and to the very concept of international society, so it makes sense that scholars would pay attention to them. What’s curious, though, is how much ambiguity permeates the discussion of primary and secondary institutions within English School theorizing. There is a lack of agreement among authors about what constitutes a primary institution, and secondary institutions receive almost no attention …
Engagement or dismissiveness? Intersecting international theory and global health
International relations theorists and global health politics scholars largely fail to communicate with one another. We argue that drawing on insights from classic and contemporary international theory more explicitly will positively augment the study of global health politics. This paper highlights four major theoretical orientations in the international relations literature (realism, neoliberal institutionalism, constructivism, and feminism) and…
The securitization of health in the Trump era
Though global health has attained a prominent position on the global political agenda over the course of a generation, the inauguration of the Trump Administration in the United States threatens to challenge this international consensus. He has evinced scepticism about the value of multilateralism, called for significant cuts to foreign aid, and expressed fear that foreigners would bring disease to the United States. In the face of these challeng…
Human rights in global health: Rights-based governance for a globalizing world
In 1986, the World Health Organization (WHO) created the Global Programme for AIDS/HIV under the direction of Jonathan Mann. Through Mann's leadership, personal diplomacy and outreach to world governments, he helped change how the international community framed diseases like AIDS. In order to combat the stigma and discrimination that people living with AIDS face and to improve the efficacy of outreach and prevention programmes, he stressed that t…
Covering the Cough? Memory, Remembrance, and Influenza Amnesia
The 1918–1919 influenza pandemic killed an estimated 20–100 million people, making it more lethal than the First World War and causing life expectancy rates to decline by approximately ten years. Nearly one hundred years later, though, there will be few (if any) commemorations of the pandemic and its effects on societies around the world, and the bodies affected are largely rendered invisible. Rather than trying to figure out how or why we rememb…
Patriotic history and anti-LGBT rhetoric in Zimbabwean politics
Over the past 20 years, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and his political party, Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), have relied heavily on political rhetoric that demonizes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons. In this paper, it is argued that the anti-LGBT political rhetoric in Zimbabwe is part of a larger program known as “patriotic history,” which emphasizes a particular kind of Zimbabwean identi…
Global Health Governance in International Society
Over the course of a single generation, the international community has undergone a radical shift in its views on its collective obligation to address health in low- and middle-income countries. This shift toward accepting the need to respond to global health concerns is rhetorical, behavioral, and financial—and has been maintained even in light of the incredible economic issues and austerity policies that have faced high-income states since 2008…

Private actors, global health and learning the lessons of history
Private business and philanthropic organizations have played a prominent role in the response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the support of global health governance more broadly. While this involvement may appear to be novel or unprecedented, this article argues that this active role for private actors and philanthropies actually mirrors the historical experience of cross-border health governance in the first half of the twentieth centu…
High Politics, Low Politics, and Global Health
It has become commonplace to argue that global health has ascended from “low politics” to the ranks of “high politics” in international relations—those issues of existential importance to the state and which concern its very survival. Despite its ubiquity, the actual substance of such a shift in the framing of global health is largely unexamined. In this article, I argue that empirical evidence belies the idea that global health is a “high politi…
Mers and global health governance
The contemporary global health governance system has evolved over 150 years to facilitate cooperation among states in dealing with cross-border health concerns. This article uses the current outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) to examine global health governance's history, evolution, and status within the political science literature. In particular, the article focuses on the International Health Regulations and th…

Shame, ontological insecurity and intercountry adoption
Romania and South Korea were once among the top sending countries for adoptive American families. In recent years, though, both have adopted significant restrictions on intercountry adoption. What leads countries to introduce such severe restrictions? This article argues that shame plays a significant, yet underappreciated, motivating factor for leading governments to change their laws on intercountry adoption. Political leaders seize on national…
The Rockefeller and Gates Foundations in Global Health Governance
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) is the world's wealthiest philanthropic organisation and a major player in global health governance. While its emergence may be dramatic, BMGF's role in global health mirrors the experience of the Rockefeller Foundation's International Health Division nearly 100 years earlier. Both organisations provoked fear and consternation, but their supporters argued that both offered innovative techniques and fil…

Mediating Risk through the International Health Regulations and Bio-Political Surveillance
The International Health Regulations (IHR) remain the primary international legal treaty specifically focused on infectious disease control. In the mid-1990s, international public health officials recognised the need to overhaul the IHR to make them more relevant to the modern world. In revising the IHR, the treaty vastly expanded the scope of reportable conditions, strengthened and widened reporting requirements, and sought explicitly to incorpo…
Ethical Consumerism or Reified Neoliberalism? Product (RED) and Private Funding for Public Goods
Launched in 2006, the Product (RED) campaign claims to offer an innovative approach to raising funds for AIDS drugs in Africa: selling specially branded consumer goods and having the companies donate a portion of their proceeds from those products to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Its supporters call this a revolution in using consumer power for public good. Critics chastise the campaign for glossing over serious concer…

China's Health Diplomacy in Africa
In recent years, Africa has regained a level of prominence in China's overall foreign policy strategy. Health diplomacy helps pave the way for Chinese oil companies to win mining rights for oil, platinum and other natural resources. However, a successful soft power strategy will need to consider public opinion and provide a means for connecting the health diplomacy with the larger goals
The Development of a Counter-Epistemic Community: Aids, South Africa, and International Regimes
The South African government's open challenging of the international AIDS control regime presents a paradox for the study of international regimes and epistemic communities: why would a state that would presumably benefit the most from a regime not only refuse to adhere to its precepts, but openly challenge its basic tenets? I argue that a fundamental disjuncture exists between the international AIDS control regime and the South African governmen…

Why Look East? Zimbabwean Foreign Policy and China
As part of its "Look East" foreign policy strategy, Zimbabwe has sought to strengthen its ties with China—a move that has alarmed many Western states. While not necessarily denying the pragmatism behind such a strategy, I examine how this policy represents an attempt by the Zimbabwean government and its leader, Robert Mugabe, to redirect the public imagination toward a different identity at the domestic and international levels. The government se…

The relationships between foreign aid, HIV and government health spending
This paper provides an empirical evaluation of adult HIV prevalence rates, foreign aid for HIV/AIDS programmes, and the amount of government spending on health care. It finds that there exists a statistically significant relationship between adult HIV prevalence rates and the amount of foreign funding for HIV/AIDS programmes, suggesting that need does in fact play some role in the allocation of HIV aid. It suggests there may be an additive relati…
Who's Afraid of a Chicken? Securitization and Avian Flu
Many recent discussions of a potential avian flu pandemic have called the disease a security threat. Without denying the potentially serious implications of such an outbreak, I question the usefulness of securitizing avian flu. I begin by reviewing how scholars and policymakers have securitized avian flu before outlining three main objections: that securitization encourages inappropriate responses, that it diverts attention from other pressing pu…

Don't Drink the Water: Politics and Cholera in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's 2008-09 cholera outbreak holds the dubious distinction of being Africa's worst on record. At the end of May 2009, the World Health Organization reported 98,424 cases of the disease and 4276 deaths. Other sources estimate that the number of cases has topped 100,000 since September 2008.

Cattle scourge no more: The eradication of rinderpest and its lessons for global health campaigns
In 2011, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) officially declared rinderpest eradicated.

This paper explores the effects that rinderpest has had historically, chronicles the actions of the Global Rinderpest…
Government Aids Policies and Public Opinion in Africa
The AIDS epidemic has exacted a terrible toll on the African continent, but little research has examined how Africans themselves feel about their governments' responses to this health crisis. Using Afrobarometer survey data from 15 different sub-Saharan African states collected between 2002 and 2004, I examine the factors that lead to higher support for an individual government's AIDS control efforts. The results suggest that, in some instances, …
Safe for Humanity: Taming Biological Research through Norm Awareness
Is it better to publish or restrict potentially dangerous dual-use scientific research? This question sparked international attention in mid 2011 when two researchers separately sought to publish scientific studies that demonstrated that laboratory-derived strains of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus became capable of airborne transmission after a few genetic manipulations. These findings raised fears that the virus could become ea…
Biosurveillance, human rights, and the zombie plague
The International Health Regulations (2005) gave the World Health Organization a central role in collecting biosurveillance data and explicitly recognized the importance of human rights for the first time. Human rights and biosurveillance have a complicated relationship with one another though. Surveillance systems are necessary in order to arrest the spread of infectious disease outbreaks, but these same surveillance systems can be used in discr…
