The Benevolent Dragon? An analysis of China's health diplomacy to Africa (1964 – the present)
6 March 2013
Wednesday 13 March 2013, 5.30–6.30pm, Bentham SB01 Seminar Room 3.
Transnational history lecture and seminar with Dr Paul Kadetz, Global Health, Arizona School of Health Sciences.
Abstract
The
practice of health diplomacy aims to prioritise the health care aspects of
humanitarian aid as a mechanism for political economic negotiations between
donor and recipient nations. Existing research concerning health diplomacy has
neglected to assess the context-appropriateness of the health care aid
transferred, the manner in which health diplomacy is implemented, and the
political and economic ideologies embedded in such transfers. Using these
criteria, this presentation examines how health diplomacy may be understood
with the specific case study of Sino-African health diplomacy over the past
sixty years. China's health diplomacy is contrasted with examples of that of
the US in order to assess whether the former constitutes a distinct alternative
to the normative health diplomacy of the ‘global North’.
