When wars overwhelm welfare
Vast power and wealth can damage welfare B udget numbers often seem dull and confusing. But they can test the promises of political leaders against financial realities. Government budgetary spending, which underpins national policies, indicates a nation's true priorities. The US Bush Administration reveals its aims in its 5-year budget plan. Totalling US$2.7 trillion for 2007 alone, the plan augurs grave effects on the nation's health and interna…
The poverty of public health in a dominant power
The recent hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico exposed the poverty of US public health infrastructure, weakened by years of budgetary neglect
Ideology, science, and public policy
While science alone cannot answer moral dilemmas, the best available knowledge is essential in judging how public policy affects people and habitats. Ideologies—strong beliefs based on untestable assumptions—are the antithesis of science. Whether economic (the “invisible hand of the market” will solve social inequities “in the long run”), religious (“we” hold the sole truth of a divine entity), or political (our way is the best governance for ass…
The dangers of “spin”
Restrictions on full and accurate information The Bush administration may go down in American history as one of the most creative, or devious, (depending on your point of view) in its use or misuse of information. Other nations can take a lesson from its lethal language. The US public has been focusing on a basic ingredient of democracy: truth in government, the practice of transparency and full disclosure. In public hearings before a special nat…

Dealing with terrorism
For the public health community, the terrorism wreaked on the United States is stunning, but not necessarily surprising. It was a shrieking reminder to us all that desperate and hopeless peoples will follow extremist minorities, that poverty and insecurity, compounded by smoldering pockets of war and the cautious engagement, if any, by the rich world breeds the destruction of 11 September. That horror spread its message in nanoseconds across the …

Glossary
The term itself did not appear until the 1980s, largely formalised and disseminated through the World Health Organisation. Inevitably, its meaning has taken on different hues according to the contexts and the purposes of those who use it. The following terms attempt to place healthy public policy within other policy constructs and invite testing in use and discussion. Policy is a guide to action to change what would otherwise occur, a decision ab…
Contending With the Forces of Progress and Retrogression, 1965-1994
The Medical Care Section placed its efforts at the leading edge of progressive change over 3 decades in the health interests of the public. The period ranged across national waves of expansion of the welfare state to retrenchment and accession to the market. Section members, both collectively and in their individual arenas, persisted in their efforts, regardless of favorable or unfavorable climates
Health, Health Care Reform, and the Care of Health
This article explores the pressures bearing on health care systems in advanced industrialized countries, particularly the United States, drawing on Geoffrey Vickers's concepts that direct attention to systemic interactions between individual health and the "health-supporting milieus" and between health and other aspects of public policy. It argues that more coordinated policies over a broad front, the management of expectations, and the developme…
New tools for community involvement in health
This paper explores the question: can the new information technologies (IT) significantly improve community involvement in health, and if so, under what organizational conditions and policies? it outlines first the paths to health, namely, the ways in which individuals and organizations both directly and indirectly affect health by the ways in which they influence the pre-conditions and co-conditions for the well-being of individuals and communit…

Healthy Cities
This paper views Healthy Cities as a local expression of the new public health. It then discusses the potential contributions of and issues involved in research supportive of policies for health at local and national levels. Finally, it suggest the roles Healthy Cities can play in sustaining the new view of health-making through its functions as political reality and policy laboratory.

Strategic lessons for public policy to promote health
Beginning efforts are being made in many countries to promote health through public policy in ways that go beyond the traditional mandate of the health policy sector. This paper examines several national case studies and other relevant examples in order to draw strategic implications for po‐licymaking and to suggest the further analytic work that can be done in support of policymaking
Making healthy public policy; developing the science by learning the art
During the 1980s increasing attention has been given to the view that a vast array of public policies have great potential for health promotion and that this potential ought to be developed. After briefly discussing the basis for this concept and its policy implications, this article turns to a major corequisite for making healthy public policy a political reality: learning how to do it. Where healthy public policy exists, how did it happen? This…

Multisectoral policy and health promotion
Issues that bind the various processes of political decision-making, economy, and welfare to health, are urgent not only for "developing" countries. The industrial nations which have conventionally been labelled "developed" are now painfully aware that they too are "developing countries". They are entering a new phase of social and economic change at an unprecedented pace. There is little in human experience to guide or help them foresee the cons…
Pressure groups and Australian health policymaking in the 1980s
In March 1983 the new Labor government was in a position to implement its health policies, including its promised revival of the community health program. Although funds were allocated, substantive issues of policy remained. Various parties at interest could agree on general principles but differed on operational meanings, means, and priorities. Seventy‐five groups whose leaders were interviewed devised an array of organizational strategies to in…
Health policy and the emerging tobacco reality
The political anatomy of community health policy in Australia, 1972–1982
This article seeks to account for the survival of the 1973–1975 Labor government's new Community Health policy during the conservative coalition government (1975–1983) (which had managed to completely abolish Labor's national Medibank health insurance program). Through extensive interviews with 74 people who were directly involved in the policy process at national, state and local levels, as well as from other sources of information, inquiry is m…

A framework for prevention
A set of propositions is offered to provide a frame of reference for proposed strategies to improve healthful behavior by placing personal choice-making in the context of societal option-setting. The health status of populations at a given point in time is seen as a result of customary personal choice-making. These choices in turn are limited by both the perceived and actual options available to individuals, depending on their personal and their …

Health Care Organizations and Innovation
A 4-year case study of organizational change is presented. The Community Nurse Agency (CNA) initiated a Neighborhood Center Project in a large midwestern city (population over 1.5 million and almost 50% black). According to the experience organizational innovation is best understood as a political problem involving power relations among organizations seeking scarce resources. Some ways for dealing with the political problem are suggested through …
