ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book sets out to examine how to make global institutions work better for the poor and vulnerable. This was achieved through analysis of the failures of global institutions in order that mechanisms to effect change could be defined. By doing, these mechanisms such as law reform and transparency have been re-contextualized. The book analyzes the United Nations (UN), a UN agency, the World Bank, private military and security company (PMSCs), Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI) and the Global Fund, the largest global health foundations, the pharmaceutical industry, and the Internet. Amanda Glassman, Denizhan Duran and Andy Sumner analyzed changes in demographics and the need for essential global public health interventions in lower middle-income countries. The problems caused by the banks use of social accountability, Brennan argued that the prohibition against the bank engaging in political activity has become a fiction.
