Funded Activity Summary

Containing H5N1: the role of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and East Asian states. International cooperation through the World Health Organisation (WHO) is seen as a primary defence mechanism for protecting countries from the spread of infectious diseases. By studying the efficacy of WHO's mechanisms for forging international cooperation, this project will provide new insight on the effectiveness of international measures for preventing the spread of infectious disease and the possibilities for improving those measures. A pandemic influenza would have a devastating impact on Australia. With the threat of H5N1 becoming a pandemic influenza, the possible failure of cooperation between states and WHO makes this study of crucial importance to the Australian government.
