“…..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
