The author examines how the World Health Organization's approach to fulfilling its disease eradication mandate – now commonly described as 'global health security' – has changed and adapted over time. Drawing on constructivist and rationalist theories of international organization, as well as several case studies (malaria, smallpox, SARS, influenza, Ebola), the book explores how the organization's secretariat has exercised autonomy and authority to establish new customary practices and amend disease control policies and procedures in response to past failures and successes. Kamradt-Scott also investigates how the organization's member states have responded to these changes by imposing new constraints on the WHO's behaviour, and what these changes signal for the future.
