Brazil seemingly outpaced China and India in the area of prevention and especially with respect to the universal provision of diabetic medication. Through the introduction of an interdisciplinary theoretical approach combining different strands of international relations theory, it is argued that the Brazilian government\u2019s historic interest in simultaneously strengthening its international reputation in health, as well as the institutionalization of access to medicine as a human right, facilitated this more aggressive policy response.
