The political economy framework is presented as a guide to investigate pharmaceutical marketing channels. Based on the framework, pharmaceutical marketing channels are conceptualized as four interacting areas: the environment, the economy, the policy, and the performance of the channel. Examples of this approach are illustrated. The usefulness of the framework for future research and management of pharmaceutical marketing channels is discussed, and strengths and weaknesses are identified.

Managing conflicts of interest (COIs) in scientific decision-making is important for minimizing bias and fostering public trust in science. Proper management of COIs has added significance when scientists are making decisions that impact public policy, such as assessing substances for carcinogenicity. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) organizes expert working groups to identify putative carcinogens and determine whether or not the hazard is likely to present significant potential harm to humans.
