Current
New Essay Competition - Health Politics in an Interconnected World
The 13th Berlin Roundtables on Transnationality will be held on the topic "Health Politics in an Interconnected World" (WZB, Berlin, 1 - 5 December, 2010).
How can national governments and international agencies respond to global challenges of health and social well-being? How do local realities influence global health discourses, technologies, and regulatory approaches? What kind of methodological instruments do different disciplines provide in order to study and account for evidence?
The Irmgard Coninx Foundation, in cooperation with the WZB and Humboldt-University Berlin, invites young scholars and experts from the field to participate in the essay competition for the upcoming Roundtables.
