These include 1. the ‘human right to health’ theoretical position; 2. approaches to analysis that are “geographically broad and historically deep”, that is, that are attentive to the effects of social, political, and economic forces operating both nationally and internationally throughout history on present political and economic configurations. Such analysis might draw on world systems analysis and consider long-term historical trends consonant with the longue durée approach of the French Annales School; 3. the role of present social, political, and economic configurations as upstream “fundamental causes” of disease patterning across national and global populations; and 4. the relative balance of class interests as a latent variable in influencing national social policy pertaining to health and general welfare
The themes that emerged around successful GH programs were: Attention to partnership development, often with a specific individual playing a key role as the “guardian of the mission”; “Identifying challenges”, collaboratively with partner input; “Role of learners”, in both developing and sustaining the program; a routine of ”Constant communication”; “Role of funding” and ”Evaluation of program impact”
