Newly established in 2011, the Centre for Global Health Policy seeks to creatively promote the quality and equality of people’s health around the world by advancing rigorous research for improving global health policy. We welcome you to please explore our Centre’s webpages for more information, events and examples of the research our members undertake.
The Centre undertakes and promotes research on:
1. The Global Politics of Health
How does the evolving international political environment shape and constrain global health policy? This includes research on the changing agendas, diplomatic strategies, and overall constellation of global health actors − including international organizations, governments, public-private partnerships, non-governmental organizations, philanthropic foundations, and commercial actors.
2. Making Global Health Policy
How is global health policy made? This includes research on agenda and priority setting in global health policy, how these policies are framed, the evolving knowledge and evidence base for global health policy, policy negotiation, the challenges of effective policy implementation, policy evaluation, and accountability in global health policy-making.
3. Power in Global Health
How does power influence global health outcomes? This crosscutting research covers material forms of power − especially funding and resource distribution, economic inequalities, and the role of special interests. It equally covers ‘softer’ power − such as processes of marginalization, stigmatization, and exclusion; the role of identities in global health policy, and the place of ethics in global health policy.
