Health issues have become increasingly prominent on the foreign policy agen=
das of a globalized world. Nick Drager & David Fidler <http://www.who.int/b=
ulletin/volumes/85/3/07-041079.pdf>  introduce this theme issue on health a=
nd foreign policy <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/en/index.html> =
 by discussing some of the complex and contentious matters involved.  In a =
Perspective, David Fidler considers whether a revolution is taking place in=
 the relationship between health and foreign policy <http://www.who.int/bul=
letin/volumes/85/3/07-041087.pdf> .=0D

Rupa Chinai & Rahul Goswami report from Mumbai on India=E2=80=99s booming m=
edical tourism sector <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/07-010307/e=
n/index.html> . May Meleigy reports from Cairo on a network of United State=
s military laboratories <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/07-020307=
/en/index.html>  that has become important for public health in Egypt. In t=
his month=E2=80=99s interview, Jonas Gahr St=C3=B8re <http://www.who.int/bu=
lletin/volumes/85/3/07-100307/en/index.html> , Norway=E2=80=99s minister of=
 foreign affairs, discusses the linkages between foreign policy and health.=

Four papers explore the relationship between health and security. Jean-Paul=
 Chretien et al. propose that developing countries can improve their milita=
ry surveillance capabilities <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/06-0=
37101.pdf>  through partnership with industrialized countries. Robin Coupla=
nd writes that foreign policy should recognize armed violence as a major gl=
obal health issue <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/06-037135.pdf> =
 and that it should be addressed as such. Michel Thieren examines humanitar=
ian responses <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/06-038273.pdf> , wh=
ere health and foreign policy are often in direct conflict. Rebecca Katz & =
Daniel A Singer call for stronger partnerships between countries <http://ww=
w.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/06-036889.pdf>  to better address global he=
alth challenges, such as localized epidemics or threats to international se=
curity.=0D

Douglas W MacPherson et al. write that since migration and population mobil=
ity <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/06-036962.pdf>  are increasin=
gly important determinants of health, they will require greater policy atte=
ntion on the multilateral level. Diarmid Campbell-Lendrum et al. write that=
 implications of climate change <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/0=
6-039503.pdf>  are well documented but there has been little exploration of=
 the public health responses that are needed. Two papers, by Alex Scott-Sam=
uel & Eileen O=E2=80=99Keefe and Kelly Lee et al., look at health impact as=
sessment <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/06-037077.pdf>  as a mea=
ns of judging the effectiveness of a policy, programme or project in terms =
of the health of a population.=0D

Simon Barraclough & Kai-Lit Phua examine health as an important part of Mal=
aysia=E2=80=99s foreign policy <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/06=
-037119.pdf> . Kumnuan Unchusak et al. examine the lessons learnt from an o=
utbreak of botulism in Thailand <http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/3/0=
6-039545.pdf>  in March 2006.=0D
