Beneath the rhetoric of global justice: Reinforcement of global hegemonic governmentality by South Korea's Global Vaccine Hub Project.
Article in Globalization and health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDuring the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the South Korean government initiated the Global Vaccine Hub Project (GVHP) purportedly to address global vaccine inequality. This study analyzes the strategies and underlying epistemology of GVHP through the perspective of global governmentality. Critical Discourse Study (CDS) approaches were used to identify governmental technologies and explain how their embedded knowledge is related to power relations.
resultsThe findings reveal that GVHP merely pursues national interests by implementing governmental technologies, such as calculative practice, support to private companies, patent protection and circumvention, and pursuing vaccine diplomacy. The South Korean government considered the pandemic an economic and diplomatic opportunity to become an advanced country. The governmental strategies resulted in the depoliticization of vaccines and facilitated the government's opposition to other alternatives, such as an intellectual property waiver at the World Trade Organization level.
conclusionThis study argues that the failure of global pandemic governance does not imply the failure of global governmentality; rather, the success of neoliberal global governmentality made global solidarity challenging.
