Global Governance for Health

The diverse challenges posed by global change for health raises the need to rethink existing forms of governance. Domestic action alone is no longer sufficient to ensure health is protected. Our research has helped to clarify how existing rules, institutional actors, and financing mechanisms need to evolve to better respond to the emerging challenges of globalisation. Our work is especially concerned with ensuring that globalisation also benefits those currently left behind in the development process.
