The implementation of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on
Tobacco Control (FCTC) has seen increased participation of a range of new players in the governance
of this, the world’s first global public health treaty. While much research is conducted into the
efficacy of activities to influence tobacco use (and other critically important aspects of tobacco
control), there is not a correspondingly high level of research activity targeting an understanding of
what the FCTC process means from a global governance perspective. This paper notes the critical
level of NGO participation in the implementation of the FCTC with implicit implications for the
ongoing governance of the treaty. It is posited that understanding the role of NGOs in the FCTC’s
governance structures will contribute to a better understanding of the global governance issues
arising from the Framework. |
