Corporate Political Activity, Power and Health Governance

Abstract

This panel will focus on the influence of corporate actors over health across industries, policy domains and levels of governance, seeking to address current gaps in commercial determinants of health (CDoH) research agenda. First, it seeks to highlight innovative research beyond the ‘canonical’ health-harming, e.g. on the global plastics and pesticide sectors. Second, it will explore corporate power and political strategy at local, national, regional and global levels and the interactions and interdependencies between these. Third, it will broaden the scope of commercial actors to include analysis on ancillary actors such who provide the ideological support for corporate strategy. Finally, it seems to create connection with researchers interested in corporate actors beyond health to cross-fertilise exchange of ideas and research agendas.
