International health law is a soft law which is now reaching full maturity. It has gradually taken root since the middle of the 19th century, and it represents a synthesis of several disciplines (international work law, international social law, international humanitarian law, international medical law, international environment law, ...) International health law must be linked to international economic law and particularly to international development law. Moreover, it is mostly a Third-world law, especially since the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) caters first of all to the needs and demands of the developing nations. Thus it offers both an ideological and technical aspect which is very present in the concepts of New International Health Order and of Primarian Health Cares. W.H.O. must be considered as the main organization in the field of international public health, though, an international sanitary division has been established with both world organizations (mainly the United Nations System organizations), trans-regional, regional or sub-regional organizations, all with sanitary competence, as well as many non-governmental organizations with a sanitary purpose. The standardization process (general standards and ordinary standards) of international health law is nevertheless very advanced, and make international health law a half proclamatory and half executory law.

Quels liens peut-on établir entre les Études globales (EG), les Affaires internationales (AI) et les Études internationales (ÉI) ? S'agit-il de rupture, d'élargissement ou de renouvellement ? Nous souhaitons montrer dans ce texte comment les EG et les AI, deux nouveaux programmes de formation universitaire qui se veulent interdisciplinaires et qui traitent eux aussi des enjeux internationaux, transnationaux et globaux, offrent une solution de rechange aux Études internationales. Si l'apport des Affaires internationales se situe au niveau de la professionnalisation de la formation, celui des Études globales loge du côté des perspectives théoriques et analytiques. À partir d'une étude de vingt programmes de maîtrise, nous montrerons comment les conditions d'émergence, l'organisation et l'évolution de ces programmes leur ont permis de se forger une identité qui les distingue des Études internationales.
