Tracey Wagner-Rizvi

Tracey Wagner-Rizvi is a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh specializing in global health governance and tobacco control policy. Her work examines corporate influence in public health through frameworks like the WHO Foundation and Article 5.3 of the WHO FCTC, with field research conducted across Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, and Uganda.

Her research concentrates on:

• Global Health Governance: Analyzing depoliticization of corporate philanthropy and non-state actor influence
• Tobacco Control Implementation: Investigating institutional barriers to Article 5.3 compliance in low/middle-income countries
• Policy Coordination: Developing whole-of-government approaches for complex health challenges
• Conflict of Interest Management: Documenting state-tobacco industry tensions in policy formulation

Recent publications (2022-2024) reveal consistent focus on multi-country comparative analysis, highlighting how corporate interests intersect with public health sovereignty. Her work demonstrates particular expertise in Bangladesh's policy landscape while contributing to broader discourse on protecting health governance from commercial interference through empirical case studies published in Social Science & Medicine and Tobacco Control.
