Antimicrobial resistance in Ecuador
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a growing global public health threat, undermining therapeutic efficacy and disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. In Ecuador, the situation is exacerbated by weak surveillance systems and fragmentation among the human, animal, and environmental health sectors. This study analyzes current national approaches that address AMR in Ecuador from a One Health (OH) perspective, with an emphasis on …
Exploring antibiotic stewardship interventions within a One Health context
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) presents a global threat to human health, animal health, and the environment. While ABR is a natural phenomenon, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human health, animal health, and food production is a major driver of ABR. As interactions between humans, animals, and the environment are central to the emergence and spread of ABR, adopting a One Health approach is essential to effectively address the issue. In thi…
A rapid scoping review of antibiotic access and use barriers among refugee and migrant populations
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance (ABR) poses a significant global health and development threat from increasing globalization of travel, trade, and animal and human migration. ABR impacts refugees and migrants in unique ways due to increased exposure to infections and inequitable access to healthcare. The objective of this review is to synthesize the evidence on access to and appropriate use of antibiotics by migrants and refugees, identify the …
Bridging AMR knowledge gaps and improving policy implementation
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat, posing a serious challenge to public health and medical and social advancements. Top-down research methods and policy implementation approaches have fallen short in capturing the complexities of AMR transmission and supporting effective policy implementation, including in diverse and resource-constrained settings. This perspective article suggests that community engagement has the pot…
Intergovernmental or fully independent? Designing a scientific panel on evidence for action against antimicrobial resistance
Effective global action against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) relies on the successful synthesis and translation of rigorous scientific evidence into policy and practice. Despite a call in 2019 by the Interagency Coordination Group on AMR to establish a policy-science interface, and the reaffirmation to establish a scientific panel in the 2024 Political Declaration on Antimicrobial Resistance, no authoritative entity currently exists that synthe…
Equity in the Governance of Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is interwoven with uneven development and increasing socioeconomic demands that shape nature-society relations and place vulnerable groups at increased risk of resistant infections. While equity is integral to AMR governance, its relevance for AMR surveillance systems has not been fully conceptualized. An Urban Political Ecology (UPE) lens premised on equity and sustainable nature-society relations is used to both c…
Learning from the Montreal Protocol to improve the global governance of antimicrobial resistance
The Montreal Protocol has played a critical role in promoting global collective action to phase out the use of ozone-depleting substances, ultimately preventing millions of cases of skin cancer, cataracts and other health issues related to ultraviolet radiation exposure. This success entails transferable lessons for coordinated action required to improve the global governance of other challenges. Like ozone depletion, antimicrobial resistance (AM…
Governance of the wildlife trade and the prevention of emerging zoonoses
INTRODUCTION: The wildlife trade is an important arena for intervention in the prevention of emerging zoonoses, and leading organisations have advocated for more collaborative, multi-sectoral approaches to governance in this area. The aim of this study is to characterise the structure and function of the network of transnational organisations that interact around the governance of wildlife trade for the prevention of emerging zoonoses, and to ass…
Developing a protocol on antimicrobial resistance through WHO’s pandemic treaty will protect lives in future pandemics
Addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the pandemic treaty is a crucial aspect of pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. At the moment, AMR-related provisions in the draft text do not go far enough and will likely lead countries to commit to the status-quo of AMR action. We suggest that the protocol mechanism of the treaty proposed under Article 31 offers an opportunity to develop a subsidiary agreement (or protocol) to furth…
Analyzing One Health governance and implementation challenges in Mexico
Establishing a robust One Health (OH) governance is essential for ensuring effective coordination and collaboration among human, animal, and environmental health sectors to prevent and address complex health challenges like zoonoses or antimicrobial resistance. This study conducted a mixed-methods environmental scan to assess to what extent Mexico displays a OH governance and identify opportunities for improvement. Through documentary analysis, t…
Policies to prevent zoonotic spillover
BACKGROUND: Emerging infectious diseases of zoonotic origin present a critical threat to global population health. As accelerating globalisation makes epidemics and pandemics more difficult to contain, there is a need for effective preventive interventions that reduce the risk of zoonotic spillover events. Public policies can play a key role in preventing spillover events. The aim of this review is to identify and describe evaluations of public p…
Exploring the political economy nexus of tobacco production and control
A survey of International Health Regulations National Focal Points experiences in carrying out their functions
BACKGROUND: The 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR (2005)) require States Parties to establish National Focal Points (NFPs) responsible for notifying the World Health Organization (WHO) of potential events that might constitute public health emergencies of international concern (PHEICs), such as outbreaks of novel infectious diseases. Given the critical role of NFPs in the global surveillance and response system supported by the IHR, we s…

Global health diplomacy in Mexico
BACKGROUND: Global health diplomacy (GHD) focuses on the actions taken by diverse stakeholders from different nations -governments, multilateral agents, and civil society- to phenomena that can affect population health and its determinants beyond national borders. Although the literature on conceptual advancements of GHD exists, empirical studies about how health becomes an issue of relevance for foreign policy are scarce. We present an analysis …
Characterizing ‘health equity’ as a national health sector priority for maternal, newborn, and child health in Ethiopia
Background: The pursuit of health equity is a priority in Ethiopia, especially with regards to maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH). To date, there has been little characterization of the ‘problem’ of health inequity, and the normative assumptions implicit in the representation of the problem. Yet, such insights have implications for shaping the framing, incentivization, and implementation of health policies and their wider impact.Objective…
Global Health Diplomacy (GHD) and the integration of health into foreign policy
Since the end of the Cold War, health has gone from a peripheral concern in foreign policy negotiations to a prominent place on the global political agenda. While the rise of health onto the foreign policy agenda is by now old news, the driving forces behind its expansion into new political spheres remain understudied and undertheorized. This article builds on empirical findings from a four-country study of the integration of health into foreign …
The Political Economy of Tobacco in Mozambique and Zimbabwe
Changing global markets have generated a dramatic shift in tobacco consumption from high-income countries (HICs) to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); by 2030, more than 80% of the disease burden from tobacco use will fall on LMICs. Propelling this shift, opponents of tobacco control have successfully asserted that tobacco is essential to the economic livelihoods of smallholder tobacco farmers and the economy of tobacco-growing countries. …
What role for One Health in the Covid-19 pandemic
Health in All Policies (HiAP) governance
The Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach requires formal and sustained governance structures and mechanisms to ensure that the policies of various non-health sectors maximize positive and minimize negative impacts on population health. In this paper, we demonstrate the usefulness of a network perspective in understanding and contributing to the effectiveness of HiAP. We undertook an exploratory, qualitative case study of a HiAP structure in Ira…
Chile’s role in global health diplomacy
BACKGROUND: Global health diplomacy (GHD) has become an important field of investigation due to health concerns increasingly entering the foreign policy domain. Much of the existing academic writing focuses on North-South cooperation in global health, and emphasizes the role of security and economic interests by Northern countries as drivers of GHD. Chile presents a favourable environment for an expanded involvement in future GHD activities. Howe…
Opening windows and closing gaps
NGOs remain a critical factor in efforts to strengthen tobacco control policy. These organizations were able to mobilize support for the tobacco flavouring ban adopted at the Federal level in Canada, and although the initial Bill had major limitations to achieving the health objectives, the persistence of these NGOs resulted in amendments to close these loopholes
A conceptual framework for investigating the impacts of international trade and investment agreements on noncommunicable disease risk factors
We developed a conceptual framework exploring pathways between trade and investment and noncommunicable disease (NCD) outcomes. Despite increased knowledge of the relevance of social and structural determinants of health, the discourse on NCD prevention has been dominated by individualizing paradigms targeted at lifestyle interventions. We situate individual risk factors, alongside key social determinants of health, as being conditioned and const…
Could the WHO’s Framework on Engagement with Non-State Actors (Fensa) be a threat to tackling childhood obesity
Childhood obesity has become a major global public health issue by reaching alarming levels in both developed and developing nations. A systematic review for the global burden of disease study in 2
Obesity prevention
The multi-factorial causes of obesity demand integrated prevention policies with the collaboration of diverse sectors, although to date, there is little evidence of engagement by non-health sectors in developing obesity prevention policies. In this commentary, we develop a three-step argument for improving intersectoral collaboration. We first note that to encourage non-health sectors in developing and implementing integrated preventive policies,…

Health inequities in the age of austerity
The forgotten dimension of social reproduction
This article invokes Gramscian theory in an effort to better grasp the reorganization of social reproduction under neoliberal globalization. It argues that recent transformations in the world development order warrant a rethinking of the concept of social reproduction, towards acknowledging the increasingly apparent role of transnational governance institutions in organizing social reproduction processes, particularly in peripheral countries. To …
Producing Neoliberal Hegemony? a Neo-Gramscian Analysis of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (Prsp) in Nicaragua
Arne Ruckert, in his article “Producing Neoliberal Hegemony? A Neo-Gramscian Analysis of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) in Nicaragua,” examines the hegemonic aspects of poverty reduction strategies in the post Washington consensus. In his critical reading of the PRSP, Ruckert considers the extent to which this latest global “development” initiative differs from earlier structural adjustment programs. Taking Nicaragua as his case stud…
Banning shisha smoking in public places in Iran
INTRODUCTION: Shisha smoking is a widespread custom in Iran with a rapidly growing prevalence especially among the youth. In this article, we analyze the policy process of enforcing a federal/state ban on shisha smoking in all public places in Kerman Province, Iran. Guided by the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), we investigate how a shisha smoking ban reached the political agenda in 2011, how it was framed by different policy actors, and why n…
Ownership and Participation
In recent years, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have shifted their policy orientation away from a focus on economic growth alone towards a greater emphasis on country ownership and civil society participation. This found expression in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper approach introduced in the late 1990s. However, this new approach does not yet represent the fundamental change necessary to foster meaningful ownership refle…

Canada’s flagship development priority
This article explores the process through which Canada has positioned maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) as its flagship development priority, first at the 2010 Muskoka Initiative and more recently in negotiations surrounding the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This emphasis conflicts with the government’s recent alignment of development assistance with security and trade-related interests. We argue that a combination…

The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper of Honduras and the Transformations of Neoliberalism
A decade into the PRSP (Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper) process, this article provides a comprehensive look at the World Bank's development approach and demonstrates that recent changes in development policy have resulted in the emergence of a more inclusively oriented neoliberal development regime. In doing so, the article traces the important “discontinuities within continuity” between structural adjustment policies (SAPs) and PRSPs, and exca…
The global financial crisis and health equity
In this article, we identify pathways that link the global financial crisis to health equity. We distinguish between direct and indirect channels of influence, and develop a conceptual model that builds on the literature analyzing the impacts of globalization on social determinants of health. The most pertinent direct pathways discussed are economic contraction, health budget cutbacks, rise in unemployment, and qualitative transformations of heal…

The financial crisis and global health
In this article, we interrogate the policy response of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the global financial crisis, and discuss the likely global health implications, especially in low-income countries. In doing so, we ask if the IMF has meaningfully loosened its fiscal deficit targets in light of the economic challenges posed by the financial crisis and adjusted its macro-economic policy advice to this new reality; or has the rhetoric o…
Public–private partnerships ( ppp s) in global health
Global Health Partnerships (ghps) have become ubiquitous within global health governance (ghg). Even before the onset of the global financial crisis public–private partnerships (ppps) were an omnipresent policy tool in global health and in the current austerity climate ppps have been heralded as an effective way to address a growing resource gap in ghg. Despite their omnipresence, ghps have not received adequate attention from critical scholars; …
The global financial crisis and health equity
BACKGROUND: It is widely acknowledged that austerity measures in the wake of the global financial crisis are starting to undermine population health results. Yet, few research studies have focused on the ways in which the financial crisis and the ensuing 'Great Recession' have affected health equity, especially through their impact on social determinants of health; neither has much attention been given to the health consequences of the fiscal aus…
Global health diplomacy
Health opportunities and risks have become increasingly global in both cause and consequence. Governments have been slow to recognise the global dimensions of health, although this is beginning to change. A new concept - global health diplomacy (GHD) - has evolved to describe how health is now being positioned within national foreign policies and entering into regional or multilateral negotiations. Traditionally, health negotiations have been see…
Globalization and the health of Canadians
BACKGROUND: Globalization describes processes of greater integration of the world economy through increased flows of goods, services, capital and people. Globalization has undergone significant transformation since the 1970s, entrenching neoliberal economics as the dominant model of global market integration. Although this transformation has generated some health gains, since the 1990s it has also increased health disparities. METHODS: As part of…
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and health
BACKGROUND: In early October 2015, 12 nations signed the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), promoted as a model '21(st) century' trade and investment agreement that other countries would eventually join. There are growing concerns amongst the public health community about the potential health implications of such WTO+ trade and investment agreements, but little existing knowledge on their potential health impacts. METHODS AND RESULTS: We…
Policy coherence, health and the sustainable development goals
The international community, comprised of national governments, multilateral agencies and civil society organisations, has recently negotiated a set of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 targets to replace the Millennium Development Goals, which expired in 2015. For progress in implementing the SDGs, ensuring policy coherence for sustainable development will be essential. We conducted a health impact assessment to identify potential …

Media and neoliberal hegemony
This article presents findings from a media analysis of mainstream newspaper coverage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP). We conducted a broad search of articles published from January 2010 through to June 2014 in the major English-language Canadian daily newspapers, analyzing a total of 404 articles. We found limited substantive discussions about this comprehensive trade and investment treaty, and explain this lack of attention to …

Post-neoliberalism in Latin America
The concept of post-neoliberalism has emerged in response to the electoral victories of new left governments across Latin America starting in the late 1990s. Since then, it has been widely employed to understand the policy response of new left governments to the neoliberal Washington Consensus. However, there is no clear consensus on the utility of the concept and little effort has been made to systematically analyse policy and institutional tren…
Trade, investment and the global economy
Although officially dead due to US withdrawal from agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) is now in a ‘zombie’ state being resurrected in different ways by most of its remaining 11 member countries. This renders the analysis of its health implications both current and timely. This article, drawing on our own health impact assessment of the TPP and other analyses and commentaries, critically reviews some of the major ways in whic…
