Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: It is now widely accepted by scholars of international law and international relations that the Westphalian governance architecture on which the contemporary international system is founded is ineffective in an interdependent world. The Westphalian system is viciously critiqued for its continuous glorification of the nation-state often to the exclusion of other emerging actors in the international system. Within the orthodox multilateral organizations, the gap created by the predominant state system has led to emerging public-private partnerships (PPPs). In global health, one of these PPPs, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (?The Global Fund?) is in part a creation of the G8. Focusing on the Global Fund, as an innovative PPP in global health governance, this paper assesses issues concerning transparency and accountability of the Fund to the vulnerable constituency living with the burdens of these the diseases. If the Westphalian system is overly state-centric, do PPPs like the Global Fund fill the gap in global governance by being accountable to vulnerable groups that live with these diseases.
