Tuberculosis, childhood pneumonia, maternal death in childbirth, tobacco-related illnesses: how do global health networks select issues and seek to address these public health challenges that affect the world’s poorest countries? How do these networks arise and garner resources? How adaptable are they to changing conditions, national governments, and shifting coalitions and interests? Why are some conditions targeted while others, equally widespread and serious, are not? And finally, are global networks useful at all? For the past five years, an international team of 12 policy experts from North and South America and Europe, led by Jeremy Shiffman, professor at American University’s School of Public Affairs, has been researching the impact and internal workings of global health networks across a wide spectrum of diseases and public health initiatives. Their often-surprising findings were released on April 26, 2016, in a special supplement of the journal Health Policy and Planning.
