TL;DR: The gap between theory and policy can be bridged only if the academic community begins to place greater value on policy-relevant theoretical work as discussed by the authors, and the norms and incentives that currently dominate academia discourage scholars from doing useful theoretical work in IR.
Abstract: ▪ Abstract Policy makers pay relatively little attention to the vast theoretical literature in IR, and many scholars seem uninterested in doing policy-relevant work. These tendencies are unfortunate because theory is an essential tool of statecraft. Many policy debates ultimately rest on competing theoretical visions, and relying on a false or flawed theory can lead to major foreign policy disasters. Theory remains essential for diagnosing events, explaining their causes, prescribing responses, and evaluating the impact of different policies. Unfortunately, the norms and incentives that currently dominate academia discourage many scholars from doing useful theoretical work in IR. The gap between theory and policy can be narrowed only if the academic community begins to place greater value on policy-relevant theoretical work.

TL;DR: The relationship between global health and foreign policy is reviewed by examining the roles of health across 4 major components of foreign policy: aid, trade, diplomacy, and national security.
Abstract: Health has long been intertwined with the foreign policies of states In recent years, however, global health issues have risen to the highest levels of international politics and have become accepted as legitimate issues in foreign policy This elevated political priority is in many ways a welcome development for proponents of global health, and it has resulted in increased funding for and attention to select global health issues However, there has been less examination of the tensions that characterize the relationship between global health and foreign policy and of the potential effects of linking global health efforts with the foreign-policy interests of states In this paper, the authors review the relationship between global health and foreign policy by examining the roles of health across 4 major components of foreign policy: aid, trade, diplomacy, and national security For each of these aspects of foreign policy, the authors review current and historical issues and discuss how foreign-policy interests have aided or impeded global health efforts The increasing relevance of global health to foreign policy holds both opportunities and dangers for global efforts to improve health
