Multiple Interfaces of Big Pharma and the Chance of Global Health Governance in the Face of HIV/AIDS
Jan Peter Wogart
June 2005
Abstract
By using a game theoretical approach and the notion of "forum" or "regime shifting" this paper examines the multiple interfaces of the multinational pharmaceutical corporations (MNPCs) with their major counterparts at home and abroad, including the governments of the North and South, the international organizations and increasingly with national and international NGOs in the context of the spreading HIV/AIDS crisis. It shows how the execution of the MNPCs' strategies led to significant reactions from other actors, which led to further moves and countermoves in a strategic battle between representatives of the North and the South in the global health arena.
