LIST OF PANELS

The One Health approach has emerged as a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This conceps promotes comprehensive public health strategies, through the understanding that disease prediction, prevention, and response requires an integrated examination of diseases at the human-animal-environment interface, thereby improving medical, veterinary, and ecological health outcomes globally and contributing to pandemic prevention.

While One Health is considered a promising approach to human, animal, and environmental health, moving from theory to practice through agenda setting, policy making, implementation, and evaluation is lagging behind.

To better understand complexities and advancements in the governance of One Health, this panel approaches One Health from a policy process perspective. The panel examines the challenges and opportunities in agenda setting, policy formulation, policy implementation, and policy evaluation regarding One Health. Topics of interest include but are not limited to infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and food safety in relation to One Health.

We welcome submissions that engage with the following policy process themes:

Agenda-setting: How has the One Health approach been framed in policy narratives? How has framing changed over time? Who are the policy actors that promote this approach? What are the drivers and obstacles that put or prevent One Health to the forefront of policy making?

Policy formulation and decision-making: How do different policy actors (including scientists) negotiate and resolve disagreement among human, animal, and environmental health stakeholders?

Policy implementation and operational challenges: How can different interventions improve One Health awareness and practices?

Policy evaluation: What methods and criteria can be used for measuring effectiveness of One Health policies, including multi-sectoral coordination and policy outcomes?

Policy change and the dynamics of policy learning: How does the One Health concept and related policies travel between different policy levels (i.e., global, supranational, national to local) and political systems?

We especially welcome papers that use existing theories of the policy process to examine One Health, including the Advocacy Coalition Framework, Institutional Analysis and Development framework, Multiple Streams Framework, Narrative Policy Framework, Policy Feedback Theory, Policy Diffusion and Innovation, Ecology of Games Framework, the Programmatic Action Framework, and the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory.
