LAW & SOCIETY 594-616 (Dec 2007) The Lancet Profile: Lawrence Gostin: Legal Activist in the Cause of Global Health, 386 THE LANCET 2133 (Nov 28, 2015). Faculty Profile O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law: Global Health & Human Rights Database, in partnership with the WHO and Lawyers’ Collective of India. O’Neill Institute, Prof. Gostin’s Health Tips Georgetown Law Faculty Profile Public Health Post Profile SCHOLARLY PRODUCTIVITY AND IMPACT A systematic empirical analysis of legal scholarship, independent researchers ranked Prof. Gostin 1st in the nation in productivity among all law professors, and 11th in impact and influence. In 2017, researchers ranked Professor Gostin 1st in the nation in citations for health law. Prof. Gostin is also ranked first among health law professors on Google Scholar and on West Law (2018). He is in the top 10% worldwide for downloads on SSRN. MAJOR GLOBAL HEALTH CAMPAIGNS THE JOINT ACTION AND LEARNING INITIATIVE: TOWARDS A FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON GLOBAL HEALTH In 2008, at the founding of the O’Neill Institute, Prof. Gostin proposed a Framework Convention on Global Health founded on the right to health, published in the Georgetown Law Journal. A decade later, in 2018, civil society organizations from every region of the world launched the Framework Convention on Global Health Alliance. The groundwork for the Alliance had been laid by the Joint Action and Learning Initiative on National and Global Responsibilities for Health and the Platform for an FCGH. The World Health Report 2010 featured the FCGH, and the Global Health Governance journal featured a FCGH symposium in 2016. Stakeholder meetings have been held in Oslo, Berlin, Johannesburg, Delhi, Bellagio, Kampala, and Dhaka, among others. In 2011, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon endorsed the FCGH: “Let the AIDS response be a beacon of global solidarity for health as a human right and set the stage for a future United Nations Framework Convention on Global Health.” UNAIDS Director, Michel Sidibé urged human rights advocates to ”Join the FCGH movement for social justice.” CURRICULUM VITAE, LAWRENCE O.

  • China and Brazil's Infrastructure Initiatives and the Role of Regional Counterparts
    The Global Economic Governance Programme University of Oxford China and Brazil’s Infrastructure Initiatives and the Role of Regional Counterparts Maria A. Gwynn Abstract Emerging countries, like China or Brazil, are no different from powerful western countries in that they too use a variety of strategies to pursue their interests. To assess the utility and consequences of these strategies, I propose to focus on how these strategies will impact their less powerful regional counterparts. This is a shift away from the traditional perspective of considering powerful countries vis a vis the increasing power of emerging countries. Furthermore, by concentrating on how smaller and less powerful countries are affected by these strategies, the likelihood of success of these strategies can be predicted to some extent, as no state-strategy can be carried out without at least some support of other countries. The Global Economic Governance Programme is directed by Emily Jones and has been made possible through the generous support of Old Members of University College. Its research projects have been principally funded by the Ford Foundation (New York), the International Development Research Centre (Ottawa), and the MacArthur Foundation (Chicago).

  • Defining Health Diplomacy: Changing Demands in the Era of Globalization
    THE MILBANK QUARTERLY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF POPULATION HEALTH AND HEALTH POLICY Defining Health Diplomacy: Changing Demands in the Era of Globalization REBECCA KATZ, SARAH KORNBLET, GRACEARNOLD,ERICLIEF, and JULIE E. FISCHER George Washington University; Stimson Global Health Security Program Context: Accelerated globalization has produced obvious changes in diplomatic purposes and practices. Health issues have become increasingly preeminent in the evolving global diplomacy agenda. More leaders in academia and policy are thinking about how to structure and utilize diplomacy in pursuit of global health goals. Methods: In this article, we describe the context, practice, and components of global health diplomacy, as applied operationally. We examine the foundations of various approaches to global health diplomacy, along with their implications for the policies shaping the international public health and foreign policy environments. Based on these observations, we propose a taxonomy for the subdiscipline. Findings: Expanding demands on global health diplomacy require a delicate combination of technical expertise, legal knowledge, and diplomatic skills that have not been systematically cultivated among either foreign service or global health professionals. Nonetheless, high expectations that global health initia- tives will achieve development and diplomatic goals beyond the immediate technical objectives may be thwarted by this gap. Conclusions: The deepening links between health and foreign policy require both the diplomatic and global health communities to reexamine the skills, comprehension, and resources necessary to achieve their mutual objectives. Keywords: Global health, diplomacy, foreign policy.

  • Politicized Science Lancet, NEJM Retract Studies on HCQ
    6/8/2020 Politicized Science: Lancet, NEJM retract studies on HCQ - UncoverDC Medical Scandal of the Decade Erupts as Lancet and NEJM Both Retract Studies Finding Hydroxychloriquine Deadly and Ineffective At 3:15 pm on June 4, I got a text from my friend Josh in Los Angeles that stopped me in my tracks. The text read: “The fake Lancet Hydroxychloroquine study has been retracted.” I called Josh. “Are you serious?” He’d already texted me the retraction, but still I could barely believe it. Turns out NEJM had also retracted. This was huge. Dr. James Todaro, who runs a website, MedicineUncensored, which publishes the results of HCQ studies, tweeted yesterday: “This is exploding into one of the most twisted and unbelievable medical scandals of the decade.” Todaro (and social media “sleuths”) were the first to expose the truth, in late May on his site: James Todaro, MD @JamesTodaroMD · Jun 4, 2020 BOOM.

I examined historical changes in the administrative powers of the Surgeon General, to explain what factors affect how a Surgeon General utilizes the office’s “bully pulpit,” and assess changes in the political environment and in who oversees the Surgeon General that may affect the Surgeon General’s future ability to influence public opinion and health. This research involved collecting and analyzing the opinions of journalists and key informants such as current and former government health officials. I also studied public documents, transcripts of earlier interviews and other materials. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.................................................................................................................v Chapter 1.

These programs have an explicit emphasis on developing projects that address the priorities of the partner country as well as the donor. While the objectives of cooperative bioengage- ment programs focus on reducing the potential for accidental or intentional misuse and/ or release of dangerous biological agents, many partner countries are interested in bio- engagement as a means to improve basic public health capacities.
