UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:5460376 AB - In contrast to histories of twentieth century public health that focus exclusively on the local, national, or international levels, 'Shifting Boundaries' explores the connections or 'zones of contact' between the three levels. The interpretive essays, written by distinguished historians of public health and medicine, focus on four topics: the oscillation between governmental and non-governmental (public) agencies as sites of responsibility for addressing public health problems; the harmonization of nation states' agendas with those of international agencies; the development by public health experts of knowledge that is both placeless and respectful of place; and the transportability of model solutions across borders. The volume breaks new ground in its treatment of public health as a political endeavor by highlighting strategies to prevent or alleviate disease as a matter not simply of medical techniques, but of political values and commitments.
