• “Trade and Health: Reformulating Global Governance
to Advance Public Health.” – CPATH presented a working paper on alternative policies to promote health
in an era of global trade at the first gathering of the Global Policy Innovations Project, a project of the Carnegie Council
on Ethics and International Affairs. The meeting, Promoting Real Choices for a Changing World, was attended by social, economic,
and environmental justice activist leaders from across the globe, in September, 2004. These leaders provided commentary and
proposed suggestions for the paper, as well as discussing effective ways in which the paper would serve their constituencies.
CPATH has since continued to communicate and work with a number of these leaders in the global south about how to tailor the
paper for use by their constituencies and in their communities around the world. Please send an email to cpath@cpath.org to participate in evolving this paper.
