The International Health Regulations (2005): Asia’s contribution to a global health governance framework

Author(s):

English School theorizing specifically emphasizes the evolutionary and adaptive nature of international institutions, and global health governance institutions have undergone significant evolution and adaptation since the mid-nineteenth century. Since the first efforts to promote international cooperation on quarantine regulations, global health governance has become increasingly institutionalized, expanded to include a broad range of actors, and broadened its normative orientation. This chapter examines the evolution of global health governance by focusing on seven key moments and institutions: the International Sanitary Conferences; the League of Nations Health Office; the World Health Organization; the Health for All by 2000 movement; the International Health Regulations; the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. These seven points illustrate both the changes within global health governance and the changing ideas about moral obligation and responsibility.
