Abstract

Is the contestation of international institutions always a one-sided process that originates from nation-states? In research to date, there has been little discussion of the extent to which international institutions endure, or even form counter-reactions to national contestation strategies. This study examines the reasons for which WHO engages in counter-contestation vis-à-vis its member states.
