“…Global health research involves multi-or bilateral actors which include (among others) multilateral organisations, governments, multinational and local corporations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), community based organisations, universities and think tanks [ 33 ]. The level of global health partnerships can be local—local or local—global, and can be inter-institutional and intra-institutional collaborations.…”

BackgroundThe Centre for Global Health, Trinity College Dublin has as one of its goals, strengthening health systems in developing countries. In realising this goal we work across more than 40 countries with third-level, civil society, government, private sector and UN partners. Each of these requires that different relationships be established. Good principles must guide all global health research partnerships.An exploratory research project was undertaken with research partners of, and staff within, the Centre for Global Health. The aim was to build an evidence-based framework.MethodsAn inductive exploratory research process was undertaken using a grounded theory approach in three consecutive phases: Phase I: An open-ended questionnaire was sent via email to all identified partners. Phase II: A series of consultative meetings were held with the staff of the Centre for Global Health. Phase III: Data sets from Phases I and II were applied to the development of a unifying framework. Data was analysed using grounded theory three stage thematic analysis - open, axial and selective coding.ResultsRelational and operational aspects of partnership were highlighted as being relevant across every partnership. Seven equally important core concepts emerged (focus, values, equity, benefit, leadership, communication and resolution), and are described and discussed here. Of these, two (leadership and resolution) are less often considered in existing literature on partnerships.ConclusionsLarge complex partnerships can work well if all parties are agreed in advance to a common minimum programme, have been involved from the design stage, and have adequate resources specifically allocated. Based on this research, a framework for partnerships has been developed and is shared.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12992-016-0152-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Conceptual ambiguity in the theoretical and practical applications of the term governance is well recognized (for just a few examples see Cruz, 2015;Finkelstein, 1995;Hewitt de Alcántara, 1998;Jessop, 1998). Whitman's (2009b) edited collection on global governance showcases this with chapters on governance as: 'international organization' (Weiss & Kamran, 2009); 'configurations of state/non-state activity' (Porter, 2009); 'liberal hegemony' (Friedrichs, 2009); 'public policy networks and partnerships' (Steets, 2009); 'sector-specific management' (Whitman, 2009a); and as a 'summative phenomenon' (Knight, 2009). Given the complexities and expansive nature of the literature on governance, this section identifies core features of governance and approaches to its study, in order to inform the research design and subsequent analysis.…”

International organizations and global migration governance

Recent years have seen migration rise to the top of political agendas around the world. A series of 'migration crises' in 2015 demonstrated the limits of the existing international architecture leading states to reconsider the global response to migration. In October 2016, in addition to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) joining the United Nations (UN), 193 UN Member States unanimously agreed upon the New York Declaration (NYD) at the closing of the High-Level Summit to Address Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants, to commit themselves to negotiate two Global Compacts by 2018, one on migration and the other on refugees. This decision commenced two years of consultations and negotiations, which concluded with the adoption of a Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) and a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) in December 2018. By bringing IOM into the UN system and endorsing a comprehensive set of, albeit non-binding, commitments, states acknowledged migration as a global governance issue and accepted the necessity of institutionalizing migration within the UN. Next to the migration crises of 2015, which provided the necessary 'window of opportunity' to pursue institutional change, however, this dissertation argues that reframing migration as a development issue by the UN was key to the process of institutionalizing migration into the UN. The inclusion of migration in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 was a key milestone securing consensus among UN Member States that migration, an issue previously held at arms-length from the UN, was indeed relevant to its mandate. Hence, the dissertation investigates how migration became a global governance issue, and the role played by the UN in this process.Building on theoretical insights from the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), and the methodological principles of process-tracing, the dissertation tells the story of how migration has evolved as a global policy issue since 1919. Framing analysis is used to analyse the different ways that migration has been framed, by whom, and to what end. Drawing on interviews with 43 key protagonists, actors involved in global-level discussions on migration, and the UN archives, the dissertation explores four case studies that shed light on how IOs have influenced global migration governance:1) the creation of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) (Chapter 5); 2) the inclusion of migration in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (Chapter 6);Last but by absolutely no means least.
