Since 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) has launched numerous programs aimed at improving health conditions around the globe, ranging from efforts to eradicate smallpox to education programs about the health risks of smoking. In setting global health priorities and carrying out initiatives, the WHO bureaucracy has faced the challenge of reconciling the preferences of a small minority of wealthy nations, who fund the organization, with the demands of poorer member countries, who hold the majority of votes. In The World Health Organization between North and South, Nitsan Chorev shows how the WHO bureaucracy has succeeded not only in avoiding having its agenda co-opted by either coalition of member states but also in reaching a consensus that fit the bureaucracy's own principles and interests. Chorev assesses the response of the WHO bureaucracy to member-state pressure in two particularly contentious moments: when during the 1970's and early 1980's developing countries forcefully called for a more equal international economic order, and when in the 1990's the United States and other wealthy countries demanded international organizations adopt neoliberal economic reforms. In analyzing these two periods, Chorev demonstrates how strategic maneuvering made it possible for a vulnerable bureaucracy to preserve a relatively autonomous agenda, promote a consistent set of values, and protect its interests in the face of challenges from developing and developed countries alike.

Universal Health Coverage as defined by the World Health Organization encompasses equal access for all to good quality health services and with no financial risk for those in need of them. As such it is a modern term formulated on western ideas of health, however the philosophy it conveys has existed for many centuries across different regions and cultures of the world. 'Health For All' is based on series of seminars which formed part of the World Health Organization's Global Health Histories project. It explores the development of universal health coverage in diverse contexts, the political and economic trends that effected the running of these schemes, and, not least, critical perspectives into the variety of links between structures of national universal healthcare systems.

Ce livre est le quatrième d'une série d'ouvrages consacrés à une sélection d'organisations internationales, publiés sous l'égide de l'Institut Universitaire de Hautes Études Internationales et de la Società italiana per l'organizzazione internationale de Rome : les trois premiers titres sont L'Organisation pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture, Le Comité International de la Croix-Rouge et L'Organisation Internationale du Travail. Ce livre sur l'OMS est le premier ouvrage universitaire, non médical, en français, sur cette organisation mal connue. Il décrit et évalue non seulement le mandat, la structure et l'administration de l'OMS, mais également l'évolution de sa stratégie et ses principaux programmes. Il rappelle tout d'abord ses origines historiques, les conférences sanitaires internationales et les premières organisations internationales de santé publique. Sont ensuite examinés la naissance de l'OMS, ses objectifs principaux et l'évolution de sa stratégie, y compris le concept de « La santé pour tous d'ici l'An 2000 » et les critiques qui lui ont été apportées. L'évolution structurelle de l'Organisation, la composition ainsi que le fonctionnement des organes directeurs sont ensuite abordés. Les limites normatives de l'OMS sont analysées, avec l'exemple de la difficile adoption du Code international de commercialisation des substituts du lait maternel, ainsi que les relations de l'Organisation avec les ONG. Dans le cadre du rôle opérationnel de l'OMS, l'échec du Programme d'éradication du paludisme, la croisade victorieuse contre la variole et la lutte contre le SIDA et l'onchocercose sont donnés en exemple. Enfin, les questions budgétaires et financières, la coordination et la coopération avec les autres organisations, dont le PNUD, l'UNICEF, le FNUAP et les organisations humanitaires sont aussi exposées. La conclusion résume les défis auxquels l'OMS est confrontée, les critiques qui lui sont adressées et les réformes envisagées.

Bevölkerungspolitik hat sich seit der UN-Bevölkerungs-Konferenz in Kairo 1994 grundlegend verändert. Geburtensteuernde Zwangsmaßnahmen wurden offiziell abgeschafft und selbstbestimmte Fortpflanzung auf die Grundlage von Menschenrechten gestellt. Allerdings sind auch die hier zugrunde liegenden Konzepte nicht frei von normativen Prämissen in Bezug auf Geschlecht, Sexualität, Ethnie und Gesundheit. Franziska Schutzbach stellt in ihrer Untersuchung - in deren Zentrum die Adaption der UN-Agenda im europäischen Kontext steht - heraus, dass die gegenwärtige Essenzialisierung der Generativität im Rahmen einer heteronormativen Zweigeschlechtlichkeit zentral für die Reproduktion der herrschenden Gesellschafts- und Geschlechterverhältnisse ist. »Schutzbachs sorgfältige, kritische Analyse der WHO-Programmatik basiert auf einem umfangreichen theoretischen Gerüst.« Hannah Zagel, Soziopolis, 25.06.2020

In the late 1960's, the World Health Organization initiated a series of international studies of the incidence, characteristics, course, and consequences of schizophrenia. Those studies - the largest ever in the history of psychiatry - provided important data about the disorder in groups of patients living in different countries and cultures, and first focused attention on the differences in short-term prognosis for schizophrenia between the third world and industrialized countries. In the 1990's, the International Study of Schizophrenia (ISoS) set out to relocate those subjects and to determine

Der Zusammenhang von Armut und Krankheit, bzw. mangelnder Gesundheit, ist immer schon klar ersichtlich gewesen. In einer Vorlesungsreihe stellten Vertreter verschiedener Disziplinen, die sich im Göttingen International Health Network (GIHN) zusammengeschlossen haben, ausgewählte Aspekte vor, die darstellen, wie Armut und Gesundheit miteinander verknüpft sind. Die Fragen, Probleme, Erklärungs- und Interventionsmodelle beziehen sich besonders auf Afrika und Indien und Anrainerstaaten. Mit der Vorlesungsreihe stellten sich die Vertreter der verschiedenen Fächer bewusst einer allgemeineren Öffentlichkeit und bemühten sich, auch komplexe Themen verständlich und doch auf neuestem Stand der Forschung darzustellen. The connection between poverty and illness or lack of health has always been clear. In a series of lectures, representatives of various disciplines who have joined forces in the Göttingen International Health Network (GIHN) presented selected aspects that illustrate how poverty and health are linked together. The questions, problems, explanatory and intervention models particularly refer to Africa and India and riparian states. With the lecture series, the representatives of the various subjects deliberately set themselves apart from a more general public and endeavored to present even complex topics in a comprehensible and yet state-of-the-art way.
