"…..Diplomacy is undergoing profound changes in the 21st century - and global health is one of the areas where this is most apparent. As health moves beyond its purely technical realm to become an ever more critical element in foreign policy, security policy and trade agreements, new skills are needed to negotiate global regimes, international agreements and treaties, and to maintain relations with a wide range of actors.

 

The summer course will focus on health diplomacy as it relates to health issues that transcend national boundaries and are global in nature, discuss the challenges before it, and how they are being addressed by different groups and at different levels of governance.


Deliberations on Intellectual Property Rights, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the International Health Regulations, the creation of new finance mechanisms such as the Global Fund for Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria or UNITAID, as well as the response to SARS and Avian Flu are cases in point and will provide the real life backdrop to the discussions.

 

The programme will also discuss approaches to policy coherence at the level of regional organisations and at the national level, such as national global health strategies.

Course topics include:

- Introduction to global health, global health diplomacy and global health governance

- Health and foreign policy

- Coordination at the national and regional level for global health

- The actors, stakeholders and interest in global health governance and diplomacy

- The dynamics of global health negotiations 􀀹 Key methods, processes, instruments and mechanisms in global health diplomacy

- Cross cutting issues and the key interface with health…."

Director: Prof. Dr. Ilona Kickbusch
