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 focuses 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.
这篇综述旨在分析欧盟的全球卫生议程设置过程。我们概述了欧洲对全球卫生的看法,并提到了促使欧盟承认其作为全球卫生行为体的作用的相关发展。本文特别侧重于从 2010 年起,从欧洲的角度对其在全球卫生中的作用进行解读,这一解读分别体现在欧盟委员会的一份通讯和欧盟理事会的结论中。在此基础上,根据金登的多源流理论对议程设置进行分析,我们确定了一些似乎阻碍欧盟进一步确立和推动全球卫生议程的障碍。为制定强有力的欧盟全球卫生议程而存在的主要障碍是政策共同体的碎片化以及欧洲缺乏对全球卫生的共同定义。为了在欧洲推动全球卫生议程,需要进一步明确政策共同体的共同目标和观点,并利用出现的机会之窗。
