As a field of research and practice, global health cuts across many disciplines. Global health partnerships are often viewed as ‘disruptors’ to global health governance and are gaining influence in the ways that global health priorities are set at both local and global scales.  However, what do we mean by the two terms – how are they similar and how are they different?  Do partnerships really disrupt governance?  If we had to pick just one to clearly define the field of global health, which is better?  Which term best aligns with the goals of global health (versus international health, for example)?  In this call, the editorial board is looking for papers to provide insights and perspectives on this issue.  We encourage perspectives with first hand experience working within global health partnerships and governance structures.  We also encourage in-depth analysis that offer a historical perspective on the issue of global health governance and partnerships.  The main goal of this call is to help encourage discussion around these two very foundational frameworks that enable practitioners to work within the field of global health.  By having a collection of opinions, perspectives, and commentaries, we can help to move the field forward in more constructive (rather than de-constructive) ways and to really find an approach to disrupt the systems that prevent us – as a community of global health practitioners – from moving forward.
