Effective financing procedures of global public goods can only be found by
examining them in different policy fields. This allows identifying field specific
and general attributes that determine the applicability and success of future
methods. Previous research in global public goods either focuses on the
theoretical foundations or applies them to one specific field, but does not
seek to answer the question why certain methods have more potential for
one field than for another?. The book focuses on two major fields of
providing global public goods - the environment and health - and explores
the key attributes. Through a comparative analysis I investigate common
features and differences in the driving forces, political decision-making,
possible methods of producing goods and ways of creating consensus. The
research also identifies interdependencies across the levels of public good
provision and between policy fields. The main findings include both universal
(GPG-related) and sector specific conclusions. This book is primarily aimed at
students and researchers in public policy, political, health and environmental
sciences, as well as policymakers.
