Governing Global Health: Who Runs the World and Why?The past few decades have seen a massive increase in the number of international organizations focusing on global health.

The past few decades have seen a massive increase in the number of international organizations focusing on global health. Campaigns to eradicate or stem the spread of AIDS, SARS, malaria, and Ebola attest to the increasing importance of globally-oriented health organizations. These organizations may be national, regional, international, or even non-state organizations-like Medicins Sans Frontieres. One of the more important recent trends in global health governance, though, has been the rise of public-private partnerships (PPPs) where private non-governmental organizations, for-profit enterprises, and various other social entrepreneurs work hand-in-hand with governments to combat specific maladies. A primary driver for this development is the widespread belief that by joining together, PPPs will attack health problems and fund shared efforts more effectively than other systems.

As Chelsea Clinton and Devi Sridhar show in Governing Global Health, these partnerships are not only important for combating infectious diseases; they also provide models for developing solutions to a host of other serious global health challenges and questions beyond health. But what do we actually know about the accountability and effectiveness of PPPs in relation to the traditional multilaterals? According to Clinton and Sridhar, we have known very little because scholars have not accumulated enough data or developed effective ways to assess them-until now. In their analysis, they uncovered both strength and weaknesses of the model. Using principal-agent theory in which governments are the principals directing international agents of various type, they take a closer look at two major PPPs-the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria and the GAVI Alliance-and two major more traditional international organizations-the World Health Organization and the World Bank.

An even-handed and thorough empirical analysis of one of the most pressing topics in world affairs, Governing Global Health will reshape our understanding of how organizations can more effectively prevent the spread of communicable diseases like AIDS and reduce pervasive chronic health problems like malnutrition.

Way too big
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Gray
Can't really speak to the quality of the suit as it was only tried on, but the look was nice enough. Purchased based on measurements and sizing guide and it was huge. Probably could have gone 2 sizes down but didn't have time to reorder in a different size so just returned. Ordered XXL for son who is 6ft and 220lbs. He wears a large to XL in most tops and a 33x34 in most jeans. Many reviews advised to size up. He was drowning in the XXL. Color was nice light gray.

I sized down
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
This suit fit very well! And looks very sharp. It looks great with or without the jacket. I had to size down from my normal large to a medium, but as someone who’s skinny tall, I’ve always wavered between medium and large.

Very pleasantly suprised - good quality, for a great price!
Size: Large, Color: Black
I ordered this suit for my son, for Prom. I was nervous that it was going to be poor quality, or the fit would be really off, but was absolutely blown away by the quality, for the price. ..its a great deal for good quality. Especially for young men. For reference, my son is tall (6'2") and medium/slender build. He usually wears about a 33" waist. I ordered him a Large but maybe could have gone XL. It does seem to be a slimmer fit. He doesn't usually wear XL in anything.
