Risk, Perceptions of Risk and Transborder Infectious Diseases: Challenges for Global Health Governance
University of Sheffield, UK
24 September 2010
This workshop on Global Health Governance (GHG) in Sheffield will examine the current state of global health governance in relation to disease monitoring and control, and propose policy-relevant analysis of how we might better govern these health priorities at the global level. The workshop will involve leading academics and policy makers from diverse disciplines such as politics, medicine, political economy, political philosophy, sociology, international relations and development, including input from health practitioners as much as from specialists in the social sciences.
