Abstract
This chapter discusses the relationship, in an age of globalisation, between global health governance and the governance of individual health issues such as HIV/AIDS, pandemic influenza, tobacco control and access to medicines. It does this within the context of changes to global governance more generally. It proposes a new way of envisaging this relationship, which captures the evolving political dynamics. In particular the chapter identifies a narrative of transformative change in global health governance based on three elements: the globalisation of health; the emergence of competing visions of global health governance; and the changing institutional landscape.
