Global Health Governance

). Methodological guide : in building his problematic, the student will follow these lines : -choose an object : what am I working on : a public policy, an institution, representations ? According to this objet, my question, my hypothesis, the theory I am using are different. Avoid too large objects (development policy ; health policy in general). This object has to be very precise. Ex : the implementation of the Global Fund policy in Kenya. -choose a main question (you can then have sub-questions) : this question is linked to the object and depends on theories chosen. If the object is a public policy, the question will be linked to public policy theories. If the object is an institution, it will be linked to neo-institutionalist theories…Avoid questions like : what is the efficiency of a public policy (too difficult to demonstrate). The question has to be clear : what are the obstacles to the implementation of a specific policy in the framework of a neo-patrimonial state ? (in this case the theories mobilised will be theories on the neo-patrimonal state and theories on the implementation of public policies). -Hypotheses : those are possible answers to the main question. Again they depend on the theories used. In the case of the questions above : my hypothesis is that neo-patrimonial practices run against the implementation of a specific policy. -choose the empirical material/approach to analyse it. This has to be coherent with the rest (object/questions/hypothesis). This can be interviews, official documents, reports by NGOs…). Before starting a dissertation MAKE SURE THIS MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE. The approach used to analyse this mateial is linked to the theories used

Contribution to the teaching profile

The course means to teach students how to build a problematic (construction of objet/question/approach), how to link a theory to empirical material. This course is given in English This course analyses national and international responses to large epidemies. Through the exemple of HIV and the way African states react to HIV, we will deal with question related to global health regimes or governance, the place of several actors and their interaction (NGOS, Firms, OI) in this. We will see how States, in Africa especially react to this governance. The course includes a methodology and theoretical part, case studies and the presentation by the students of their problematic (the problematic of their dissertation).

The final examination (for the 1st and second session) will consist of a dissertation of 10 pages (around 300 lines) to be given to the professor by the 1st of February or the 29th of August for the second session, in a box in front of my office (39 av F. Roosevelt) and by mail (vdimier@ulb.ac.be) (50% of the mark). The object of the dissertation is the EU and HIV. It is up to the student to constuct his problematic around this theme (above is a methodological guide). Besides this dissertation, the student will prepare for the 15th of November an oral presentation (around 15 mintes) of this problematic (with a three pages summary to be distributed to the rest of the class), which will be presented in course (50% of the mark) between the 15th of November and the 1st of December (students have to contact me before the 30th of Octobre to be on the list). The students who wished could send me one page or so of their problematic by the 8th of October, by mail, so that we could discuss it.

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

In their dissertation, the student will have to link a theoretical framework (one page minimum) to empirical material (interviews, official documents), with a minimum of 6 scientific references.

-less than 8 : the student has no theory.

-between 8 and 11 : the theory is not linked to the demonstration. Lack of coherence.

-between 12 and 14 : the theory is linked to the demonstration but the empirical material is weak.
