“…In practice states always retain some regulatory oversight even if they choose to exercise it lightly. There is also a trend toward hybrid forms of global governance, where even industry-led initiatives involve states and NGOs as stakeholders in governance practices and implementation along with private actors such as at the International Standards Organization (Clapp, 1998) or the Global Fund for Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Hein and Kohlmorgen, 2008). Non-state actors also exert authority outside of formal global governance arrangements.…”

Land Grabbing and Global Governance: Critical Perspectives

2013

Land grabbing has emerged as a significant issue in contemporary global governance that cuts across the fields of development, investment, food security, among others. Whereas land grabbing per se is not a new phenomenon, having historical precedents in the eras of imperialism, the character, scale, pace, orientation and key drivers of the recent wave of land grabs is a distinct historical phenomenon closely tied to major shifts in power and production in the global political economy. Land grabbing is facilitated by ever greater flows of capital, goods, and ideas across borders, and these flows occur through axes of power that are far more polycentric than the North-South imperialist tradition. In this introduction we argue that land grabbing speaks to many of the core questions of globalization studies. However, we note scholars of globalization have yet to deeply engage with this new field. We situate land grabbing in an era of advanced capitalism, multiple global crises and the role of new configurations of power and resistance in global governance institutions. The essays in this collection contribute to identifying land grabbing as an important and urgent topic for theoretical and empirical investigations to deepen our understanding of contemporary globalization and governance.

“…A short introduction to the problematic of public goods, their provision on the global level and with respect to global health will be given in the next two sections ("PUBLIC (COMMON) GOODS" and "GLOBAL PUBLIC This will lead to the argument that a comprehensive approach to CCD has to transcend the narrow perspective on controlling specific diseases and the threat of their transnational spread, but ought to include aspects of health systems, universal access to healthcare and the global impact of political instability and conflicts related to bad health, as e.g. in the case of HIV/AIDS and political instability in Africa [8] (Section "TOWARDS AN…”

Control of Communicable Diseases as a Global Public Good

The article aims at giving a comprehensive overview on controlling communicable diseases (CCD) and discusses the implications of providing CCD as a global public good (GPG). After a short introductory summary of the history of CCD, Sections "PUBLIC (COMMON) GOODS" and "GLOBAL PUBLIC GOODS" offer a concise definition of the concepts of "public goods" and "global public goods". Sections "INTERNATIONAL HEALTH REGULATIONS (1969-2005) AS A GPG" and "IHR (2005) AND CCD" critically analyse the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) as a means to provide CCD as a GPG, and argues that it falls short of that goal as (a) many countries are not able to provide the "Core Capacity Requirements for Surveillance and Response" because of severe deficits of their health systems, (b) the IHR do not include HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, etc. which are a constant threat in infested regions (and to international transmission) and may be called "chronic infectious diseases" and (c) ignore the issue of fighting antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, full global health security (accepting the highest attainable standard of health as a human right) needs an integrated CCD which implied that CCD is provided as a GPG, including minimal standards of health everywhere, a "One-Health" approach, and the perspective of "Health in All Policies" (Section "TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AS A GPG"). Section "FINANCE OF CCD" discusses the dimension of financing CCD as a GPG and poses the question whether an enhanced transnational norm-building and solidarity can be expected. Improving CCD is not only one step towards the goal of "one healthy world", but also depends on a comprehensive improvement of health services.

“…The first group includes Governance Networks made up of transnational and local partners, and the second group includes government and local partner networks. Hein and Kohlmorgen write that a transnational Governance Networks is needed to face global health issues [43]. They find that although WHO is the main global health organisation, the World Bank is the biggest donor and should thus have a voice with WHO on global health policies.…”

Background: Despite growing support for the private sector involvement in the provision of public health services in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), a lack of clear information on the future of the provision of such services restricts the ability of policy-makers to assess how feasible integration between public and private actors may be, especially in LMICs.Methods: This paper presents a structured literature review performed to comprehend the dynamics and boundaries of public-private partnerships for the healthcare sector in LMICs. A total of 723 articles indexed in Scopus were initially submitted to bibliometric analysis. Finally, 148 articles published in several academic journals were selected for independent full-text review by two researchers. Content analysis was made in order to minimise mistakes in interpreting the findings of studies in the sample.Results: Public-private partnerships identified through the content analysis were categorised into four research areas: 1) Transfer of resources; 2) Co-production of goods, services and health practices; 3) Governance networks; 4) Criteria for successful partnership development. The results provide a useful overview of the phenomenon and a useful baseline for policy implications of evolution of partnerships in LMIC healthcare sectors.Conclusions: The structured literature Review thus carries out a mapping of the areas and sectors where governments need support, and a careful analysis of all those factors which may or not facilitate a public-private partnership in LMICs.
