Abstract:

International relations theorists and global health politics scholars largely
fail to communicate with one another. We argue that drawing on
insights from classic and contemporary international theory more
explicitly will positively augment the study of global health politics. This
paper highlights four major theoretical orientations in the international
relations literature (realism, neoliberal institutionalism, constructivism,
and feminism) and discusses how an understanding of these
perspectives can strengthen our understanding of global health policy.
