Summary
Health is an intrinsically and indisputably global endeavor. Global challenges to the health of populations and to the planet are on the rise, as are concomitant calls for innovative strategies and “solutions” that aspire to contribute to the development of sustainability (Bensimon & Benatar, 2006). Increased economic globalization; the flow of trade, capital, and labor; widening gender and health inequities; increased migration; and planetary health are among the many complex issues that challenge nation-states, global institutions, and the overall governance of the global commons (or the commonly pooled resources at global, international, and supranational levels). Health has also become highly vulnerable in a global policy context dominated by growing interests in national security and economic competitiveness (Labonte, 2014). Efforts to “depoliticize” health and the work of global institutions such as the World Health Organization (WHO) dedicated to the achievement of health for all have not necessarily succeeded, and suggestions that health is not political have been repeatedly refuted (Kickbusch & Reddy, 2015).
