Abstract
This chapter identifies how transformations in global health governance are reflected in the governances of specific health issues such as human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), pandemic influenza, tobacco control and access to medicines. It illustrates the importance of ideas such as security, rights, economics, development and bio-medicine in the formation and legitimisation of interests in global health. The chapter explains the link between global health governance and other areas of global governance. It also underscores the multisectoral nature of global health governance and how this is reflected in institutions and actors. Finally it suggests that the way forward in improving global health governance is to link health and other concerns both in the framing of issues and in institutional architecture.
