Project Background

Global Health Diplomacy Summer Program

 

21-25 July 2008 -  One week course on Global Health Diplomacy in Washington, D.C.

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation

 

 “….Health Diplomacy occupies the interface between international health assistance and international political relations.  It may be described as a political change agent that meets the dual goals of improving global health while helping to repair failures in diplomacy, particularly in conflict areas and resource-poor countries.  The CDC has cited health diplomacy as a way of improving trust and providing resources for health protection and promotion around the world.  Emerging disease, globalized medicine and science, persistent international conflicts, and new threats to human security, call for defining Global Health Diplomacy as an academic discipline for our times.

 

A special focus of the course will be the negotiation process, in particular the interface between technical and political issues that arise in global health agreements. Other topics that will be discussed over the five days are: 

·          Key challenges and goals of global health diplomacy

·          The changing interface of health and foreign policy

·          Dimensions of the new global health policy

·          Ensuring policy coherence in global health

·          Global health diplomacy integration across government

·          Global health and development

·          The role of public health law

·          The impact of large-scale philanthropy on health diplomacy

·          Health and the Politics of Development
