課程概述

Health issues are highly politicised (domestically and diplomatically), and health governance has been complicated by involving diverse actors who have different agendas and approaches. In this course, we will thus consider the questions: How 'global' is global health? What are its normative implications? Therefore, this course explores the role of law and ethics in the governance over global public health, which includes but is not limited to the work of related multilateral institutions, policy implementations, research activities, and political processes.

The course is divided into two parts. In the first nine weeks (Part I), we will look at the normative dimension of global health, particularly reflecting on the contestation and application of core concepts, theories, and analytical frameworks. As follows (Part II), we will turn to its empirical dimension, in order to identify the legal and ethical accounts of different global health issues. 

課程目標
 This course aims to equip students to be able to:

1. Describe the definitions of and relationships between the essential concepts of global health, global health ethics, global health law, health equity, and global justice;
2. Identify the major ethical and legal issues that are implicitly embedded in the practices in the field of global health;
3. Identify the ethical principles and legal frameworks that underpin a specific global health policy;
4. Evaluate the quality of the argumentation of ethical and legal debates; and
5. Provide ethical justifications for global health laws and policies. 
課程要求
 Students are required to read designated readings prior to lectures, and actively participate in class discussions. The course is assessed by reading responses, a take-home exam (midterm), and an oral presentation (final):

• The guidelines for weekly memos will be provided in the introductory week.

• The midterm evaluation is based on a take-home exam. The exam question will be announced on the lecture day of Week 8, and the essay should be submitted in 24 hours by the next day; it should be 3000 words max, excluding references.

• The end-of-term assessment is evaluated through a 15-min individual oral presentation, assisted with the use of PowerPoint slides, in Week 16. The purpose of the presentation is to identify, clarify, and analyse the ethical aspect of a global health issue (which potentially is related to a set of policies), consider major ethical principles and theories that might support or oppose the policies, and eventually provide ethical justifications for/against/revising the policies.
