PHM-Exch> Deep Diplomacy: The Role of the People's Health Movement in Global Health

[Thomas Schwarz MMI]

"In this article we reflect on the potential of the People's Health Movement
(PHM) to impact governance processes, illustrating how the PHM is an
important actor in increasingly complex global governance structures. The
structural position of the Movement allows for gaining both local and global
force by virtue of the similarities of a common project, without losing the
ability to contextualize battles and maintain the specificity of the issues
at hand. As the network grows from grassroots its struggle bypasses the
common pitfall of depoliticizing poverty and inequality, since the
structural character of people's local problems is recognized in the realm
of PHM and integrated into its common global agenda."
