 itre complet du séminaire : Neoliberal epidemics and post-democracy: the 
 real ‘Grand Challenges’ for global health policy
\nBuilding on the wor
 k of my colleague Clare Bambra and myself on ‘neoliberal epidemics’\, 
 I argue that global health policy confronts two challenges more fundamenta
 l than those identified with (and by) the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
  The first of these\, a direct consequence of the historical trajectory of
  neoliberalism\, is the spread of economic inequality and insecurity\, on 
 multiple scales\, combined with drastic concentration of wealth at the ver
 y top of the economic distribution\, essentially isolating wealth-holders 
 from most forms of accountability. The second is a transformation of polit
 ical institutions that Fareed Zakaria described two decades ago as the ris
 e of ‘illiberal democracy’\, the implications of which global health r
 esearchers and practitioners have barely begun to consider.
\nConférencie
 r : Ted Schrecker Ted Schrecker is a Professor of Global Health Policy\, I
 nstitute of Health and Society\, Newcastle UniversityA political scientist
  by background\, he taught that discipline as well as environmental studie
 s and population health and health policy at three Canadian universities b

 cal economy of health in a neoliberal era\, along with issues at the inter
 face of science\, ethics\, law and public policy. Among his publications\,

 rave\, 2015) and Fatal Indifference: The G8\, Africa and Global Health (Un
