Document Summary
Globalization has introduced, or at least made worse, transborder health risks increased the number and influence of non-governmental actors in health governance. Made it harder to sustain, and sometimes worsens, socioeconomic, political, and environmental problems. Helped in the demise of political and practical capacity of national governments to deal with global health challenges << most important because it suggests that maybe we need to change the fundamental structure of health governance. The need to define and address the determinants of health from a multi-sectoral perspective (don"t forget to consider trade, environment, agriculture) The need to involve a broader range of actors and interests. The imf was founded after the great depression is essentially an international credit union, in which is takes resources from subscribers, aka most of the world. Most resources come from the developed world, obviously. Used to help everyone (depression, duh) but not the only nations that borrow are developing)
