Introduction: The Social Determinants of Global Health: Confronting Inequities / S.J.MacLean & S.A.Brown -- 'The Best of Times, The Worst of Times?'

The Accumulative Nature of the US Health Complex / R.Loeppky -- Palliative Interventions: Global Health Governance and Canadian Foreign Policy/ C.O'Manique -- The Relationship between the AIDS Pandemic and State Fragility / P.Fourie -- Transnational Norm-Building in Global Health: The Important Role of Non-State Actors in Post-Westphalian Politics/ W.Hein & L.Kohlmorgen -- Global Public Health as a Unique Issue-Area with High Levels of Innovative Forms of Governance/ C.Huckel Schneider -- Philanthropic Foundations and the Governance of Global Health: The Rockefeller Foundation and Product Development Partnerships / M.Moran -- Southern Actors in Global Public-Private Partnerships: The Case of the Global Fund/ S.Bartsch -- 'Making the Money Work': Global AIDS Actors and Challenges towards Coordination of HIV/AIDSPrograms in Africa / S.Bjerkreim Hellevik -- The Political Economy of Global Health Research/ S.J.MacLean & D.R.MacLean -- 'In Sickness and in Wealth': Dealing with Public Health and Intellectual Property for Pharmaceuticals at the World Trade Organization/ V.Muzaka -- Patents, Pricing and Policies and Access to Medicine for Vulnerable Populations ina Global Economy/ S.Mulay, E.Feeney & D.R.Varma -- Global Public-Private Partnerships for Pharmaceuticals Access: Ethical and Operation Features, Challenges, and Prospects / S.A.Brown -- Conclusion: Towards Equitable Global Health Governance / S.A.Brown & S.J.MacLean.

Ultimately this book shows two things. The first is that global public health is at a moment when there will be change. Its importance may be questioned and ignored. The challenge it to make itreally 'public' in a global sense. Given the 2008 economic crisis this may not be easy.Secondly there needs to be a fundamental realignment of global politics and economics. Ironically the events of 2008 mean that this is closerto being possible than has been recently. There are opportunities for those of us concerned by ensuring the world has a healthier population to intervene and influence as this book has the potential to do. Alan Whiteside Director, Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. Poverty and inequalityare among the most significant determinants of health. Therefore, increased inequality gaps associated with globalization have serious, deleterious implications for global health. Global changes in political economy are shaping who wins and who loses in the global order, and in terms of global health, influencing which groups of people bear the greatest burden from epidemics of both infectious and chronic diseases, unhealthy environments, and lack of access to health care and medicine. The new structures of global health governance that have emerged are distinguished by their complexity, involving collaborations of state, inter-state and non-state actors from local though global levels of action and interaction. Examining this governance architecture through a politicaleconomy lens, this volume explores possible improvements to global health, as well as the problems that stem from the power differentialswithin this governance nexus.
