About the Project
This project is offered as part of the Medical Research Foundation National PhD Training Programme in AMR: https://www.findaphd.com/search/PhDDetails.aspx?CAID=3755
The global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) requires an effective health policy response in affected countries. AMR is a ‘wicked problem’ which defies simple or one agency based solutions and demands a coordinated policy response nationally.
This project will investigate the economic, organizational, regulatory and policy drivers and constraints which result in the national prioritisation, competition between or integration of national, regional and local policies for AMR. An assessment of AMR policy making will be undertaken using mixed methods, including national case studies. Specifically, the process of AMR health policy formation in different economic and political contexts will be analysed. Countries which appear to be more ‘successful’ in getting AMR high up the health policy agenda and keeping it there are of especial interest.
Variation sampling will help us select countries from Eastern and Southern Europe along the axes of AMR burden, the nature of the health system, political buy-in, economic resources and opportunities for policy innovation. Health policy related theoretical frameworks will be accessed to analyse the AMR related health process. The successful candidate will be embedded in the King’s Interdisciplinary Social Science College Doctoral Training Centre (LISSDTP) which will provide interdisciplinary training opportunities and local student cohort activities.
