The politics and policies of global health in the EU: A historical analysis

Bachelor thesis | Politicologie (BSc)

Global health is a broad area that spans across many fields. Political science is questioning why global health policies come to be, yet no definitive answer has been found. This research conducts a historical analysis of the EU global health policy to recast the wider question of which structural factors drive policies of global health. It does so through the application of middle range theories of policymaking. Political attention and policy formulation are the main factors that influenced the policy output of the EU global health policy.
