“…Instead, I use the concept of interface to put greater emphasis on the political interactions of various actors on horizontal global-global interfaces within the structures of global governance. Based on a horizontal approach to the concept of interface and drawing upon similar attempts to differentiate between specific types of power in the realm of global governance (Arts 2003; Bartsch and Kohlmorgen 2007;Hein et al 2007;Wogart et al 2008), I introduce the following three interfaces to analyse Brazil • On the discursive interface (Rosenau's inter-subjective level) I analyse Brazil's discursive activities in interaction with other actors in global governance at the most relevant sites of the respective global governance sector (Rosenau's aggregate or political level). The power exercised here can be defined as discursive power, the ability to develop a particular discourse or frame reality according to one's own interests.…”

The global political economy is in flux as a series of cumulative crises impacts its organization and governance. The IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increasingly challenges the North as the centre of development, also reflected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe.An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communities as the established trans-Atlantic North declines and 'the rest', especially the BRICS, rise.

“…However, despite its being a multilateral, public-private partnership, only 3 per cent of all contributions to the Global Fund come from non-state actors, while the wealthy G8 countries alone finance two thirds of the Global Fund. In fact, what makes the Global Fund unique among actors in the global health field is not so much its resource base as its hybrid governance structure that gives recipient countries and civil society actors a say in decision-making processes (Bartsch and Kohlmorgen 2007).…”

Between Self-help and Dependence: Donor Funding and the Fight Against HIV/AIDS in South Africa

This article examines funding for HIV/AIDS in South Africa, and the relationship between foreign donors and the South African government. The recognition of the AIDS pandemic as an epochal crisis has led to a proliferation of international and donor organizations now directly involved in the governance, tracking and management of the pandemic in many African countries. In many ways, the heavy donor hand that is increasingly defining the pandemic and the global response to it feeds into a new imperialist logic that subordinates pan-African agendas, masks broader issues of access central to the fight against the pandemic, and strengthens traditional relationships of dependence between wealthy Western nations and poorer African nations. The South African government's relationship with foreign donors, however, has been shaped by its efforts to develop an African response to the pandemic not determined nor primarily funded by foreign aid. This article highlights the positive and negative implications of the sometimes contentious relationship between the South African government and foreign donors, as well as the Africa-centred, self-help agenda it pursues, highlighting the opportunities as well as challenges for African governments to define the global response to the pandemic.

Sustainable Development Goal Three is rightly ambitious, but achieving it will require doing global health differently. Among other things, progressive civil society organisations will need to be recognised and supported as vital partners in achieving the necessary transformations. We argue, using illustrative examples, that a robust civil society can fulfill eight essential global health functions. These include producing compelling moral arguments for action, building coalitions beyond the health sector, introducing novel policy alternatives, enhancing the legitimacy of global health initiatives and institutions, strengthening systems for health, enhancing accountability systems, mitigating the commercial determinants of health and ensuring rights-based approaches. Given that civil society activism has catalyzed tremendous progress in global health, there is a need to invest in and support it as a global public good to ensure that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can be realised.
