Objectives
The RC-25 aims to advance international scholarly development on the politics, influence and results of health policy, including but not limited to:
- Comparative analyses of health systems’ governance and regulation: modes of financing and privatization, corporatist and non-corporatist decision-making, inclusivity and equity in access to care and prevention, trajectories of medicalization;
- Transnational health policies, governance and goal setting (e.g. Sustainable Development Goals, global risk reduction, international and regional collaboration for health);
- Social and commercial determinants of health, policy networks and the strategies of key interest groups, evidence-informed health policy, evaluation and the valuing of health and wellbeing;
- The gains from investments in health care and preventive policies, including those related to OneHealth, Health In All Policies (HiAP), epi/pandemics, and Planetary Health.
- The links between social cohesion, democracy and population health.
