An Ethical Framework for Global Governance for Health Research

Part of the book series: Advancing Global Bioethics ((AGBIO,volume 15))

  • 125 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter depicts a detailed picture of various role-players involved in Global Governance for Health Research. The best way to understand Global Governance for Health Research and how it works is knowing and analyzing the various categories of its role-players, their compositions, functions, and dynamics. These role-players, together, shape a network that is in charge of Global Governance for Health Research. In other words, the second chapter explores the existing situation and portrays the map of Global Governance for Health Research in the contemporary world. This chapter categorizes the role-payers into two main categories: (1) States and Intergovernmental Organizations, including influential states such as the United States and Intergovernmental Organizations such as the World Health Organization, the World bank, and UNESCO; (2) Non-State Role Players, including philanthropic organizations; non-state organizations such as the World Medical Association and the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences; and for-profit organizations. This chapter depicts how a global network is formed by the intertwined functions of these role-players.
