SUMMARY:What is Global Health?
DESCRIPTION:Séminaire de l'IRSPUM
\nTitre du séminaire :What is Global He
 alth?Since 1990 the term “Global Health” has replaced “International
  Health” as the description of choice for a certain kind of health activ
 ity. Simultaneously\, the institutions and people identified with this ter
 m have multiplied exponentially. There have been relatively few attempts t
 o explain these changes in any comprehensive way. Those that have tried us
 ually emphasize a single factor like crisis at the World Health Organizati
 on or the HIV/Aids epidemic. But the transformation of this complex and he
 terogeneous domain into a growth enterprise has multiple causes that requi
 re elaboration. In this talk I try to provide historical context\, explana
 tions for the recent interest in and rapid growth of this domain\, and a d
 escription of some of the novel features that it has added to internationa
 l health. Finally\, I will attempt to describe what is known about its cur
 rent structure along various axes – financial\, institutional\, and inte
 llectual.
