Abstract

This article reviews the state of the literature on the politics of global health governance and associated political dynamics of actors involved in this issue space. We identify seven eras in the field, beginning with the period of empire and colonialism and ending with the COVID-19 outbreak. The field of global health has long had a focus on infectious disease, often rooted within a state-centered approach to transnational global health problems with recurrent debates about whether and how restrictions on trade and travel should be imposed in the wake of disease outbreaks. This statist focus is in tension with more cosmopolitan visions of global health, which require broader health system strengthening. In the mid-2000s, a golden age emerged with the influx of new financing and political attention to addressing HIV/AIDS and malaria, as well as reducing the risk posed by infectious disease outbreaks to economies of the Global North. Despite increased awareness of noncommunicable diseases and the importance of health systems, events of recent years (including but not limited to the COVID-19 outbreak) reinforced the centrality of states to global health efforts and the primacy of infectious diseases. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Political Science, Volume 26 is June 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

从帝国主义到“黄金时代”再到大封锁:全球卫生治理的政治

本文回顾了关于全球卫生治理政治的文献现状以及涉及这一问题空间的行动者的相关政治动态。我们确定了该领域的七个时代，从帝国和殖民主义时期开始，到COVID-19爆发结束。长期以来，全球卫生领域一直把重点放在传染病问题上，其根源往往在于以国家为中心处理跨国全球卫生问题，在疾病爆发后，经常就是否以及如何限制贸易和旅行进行辩论。这种中央集权主义的重点与全球卫生的更世界性的愿景相矛盾，后者需要更广泛地加强卫生系统。2000年代中期出现了一个黄金时代，新的资金和政治注意力涌入，以解决艾滋病毒/艾滋病和疟疾问题，并减少传染病爆发对全球北方经济体构成的风险。尽管人们对非传染性疾病和卫生系统重要性的认识有所提高，但近年来发生的事件(包括但不限于2019冠状病毒病疫情)强化了国家在全球卫生工作中的中心地位和传染病的首要地位。预计《政治学年度评论》第26卷的最终在线出版日期为2023年6月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
