摘要：This review attempts to analyse the global health agenda-setting process in the European Union (EU). We give an overview of the European perspective on global health, making reference to the developments that led to the EU acknowledging its role as a global health actor. The article thereby focusses in particular on the European interpretation of its role in global health from 2010, which was formalised through, respectively, a European Commission Communication and European Council Conclusions. Departing from there, and based on Kingdon’s multiple streams theory on agenda setting, we identify some barriers that seem to hinder the further establishment and promotion of a solid global health agenda in the EU. The main barriers for creating a strong European global health agenda are the fragmentation of the policy community and the lack of a common definition for global health in Europe. Forwarding the agenda in Europe for global health requires more clarification of the common goals and perspectives of the policy community and the use of arising windows of opportunity.Keywords: global health; Europe; European Union; agenda setting(Published: 13 February 2014)Citation: Glob Health Action 2014, 7: 23610 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/gha.v7.23610This paper is part of the Special Issue Facets of Global Health: Globalisation, Equity, Impact, and Action.
