Learning to Lead at the WHO
One of the largest delegations at the governing body of the WHO—the World Health Assembly (WHA)—hails from a small country in Southeast Asia. While Thailand’s presence through the 1990s was small, its delegation and engagement at annual WHA meetings grew substantially from the early 2000s through the 2010s, coming to rival that of the US. Thailand has tabled important resolutions at the WHA. The country serves on the WHO’s Executive Board; offici…
Thailand's Rural Doctor Movement
Thailand's Rural Doctor Movement (RDM) is a “civic movement” organized by rural doctors who are officials in the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). RDM's political consciousness and ideologies for social justice were cultivated by their exposures to student activism and repression in October 1973 and 1976 and fostered by the exposure to poverty and ill‐health in rural communities while doing compulsory medical service in rural hospitals in the 197…
Reimagine Aid, Don’t Destroy It
Thomas Wynn , Reading Drama in Eighteenth-Century France
Undiscovered countries
To English eyes, France’s first stageworthy adaptation of a Shakespeare play, Jean-François Ducis’s Hamlet (1769), is a pale but gloomy shadow of the original. One of the few elements of Shakespeare’s tragedy that Ducis retains is the Ghost of Hamlet’s father, who presses the hero on to avenge the original murder. But Ducis’s Ghost is both more savage and more ambiguous than Shakespeare’s; being perceptible to none but Hamlet, it may be no more t…
Drivers of universal health coverage in Makueni county, Kenya
All UN member States committed to realizing universal health coverage (UHC) when they included UHC as Target 3.8 in the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015. However, the global commitment to UHC has not been matched with action on the ground. According to the World Health Organization, about half of the world population lacks full coverage for essential health services. To accelerate progress toward UHC, a close understanding of factors that dr…
Fieldwork in an Increasingly Variable Climate
Archaeologists commonly include climatic data in their analyses of living in the past, but rarely do current weather conditions achieve mention in our professional considerations. The Kites in Context Project (KiC) focuses on a multi-scalar investigation of desert kites in the eastern badia region of Jordan. During the Neolithic (7000–5000 b.c.) period, people began building large animal traps, known as desert kites, across a wide swath of southw…

Comparing disciplinary engagement in global health research across the social sciences
Objectives What did social science disciplines contribute to the study of global health before the coronavirus pandemic? This article compares the contributions of four major social science disciplines—anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology—to the study of global health. Methods We assessed disciplinary contributions through analysis of Web of Science; disciplinary annual reviews; and each discipline's top two general focus jou…
American Medical Sociology and Health Problems in the Global South
COVID-19 has focused global attention on disease spread across borders. But how has research on infectious and noncommunicable disease figured into the sociological imagination historically, and to what degree has American medical sociology examined health problems beyond U.S. borders? Our 35-year content analysis of 2,588 presentations in the American Sociological Association's (ASA) Section on Medical Sociology and 922 articles within the secti…
Universal healthcare does not look the same everywhere
How does the private sector structure the trajectory of a country's universal healthcare programme? Social scientists have long pointed to the importance of path dependence in shaping health reform. Yet, rarely have middle-income countries' experience with the private sector under Universal Health Coverage (UHC) been examined from comparative perspective. In this paper, we explore the changing landscape of the health sector in Brazil and Thailand…

Death Sentences
This article explores Corneille's ‘prison monologues’ – soliloquies uttered by imprisoned characters contemplating their own forthcoming execution. Unable to engage materially with the world, Corneille's prisoners are effectively reduced to voices; although objectively powerless, they are subjectively able to wield language as a tool to engage with and symbolically triumph over death. Refusing to condemn the potential fallibility or illegitimacy …
Science and Democracy Reconsidered
To what extent is the normative commitment of STS to the democratization of science a product of the democratic contexts where it is most often produced? STS scholars have historically offered a powerful critical lens through which to understand the social construction of science, and seminal contributions in this area have outlined ways in which citizens have improved both the conduct of science and its outcomes. Yet, with few exceptions, it rem…
Exchange
What explains the passage of Thailand's landmark universal healthcare (UHC) policy? In separate contributions, Selway and Harris emphasized the role of electoral rules and political parties, on one hand, and “professional movements” of developmentally minded state bureaucrats on the other. Which is correct? In this article, Selway and Harris respond to each other's work. While Selway agrees that the actions of the professional movement constitute…

The Sociology of Global Health
Over the past two decades, a sociology of global health has emerged. While this new subfield takes up some themes and issues that are familiar to the discipline as a whole—among them organizations, social movements, and the social construction of illness—it has also posed new questions and opened new research pathways by formulating and testing theory in environments radically different from the United States. This work has forced sociologists to…
The Politics of Expanding Healthcare Access to the Poor and Informal Sectors
How do the politics of agenda setting and policy adoption operate in the arena of healthcare reform in the industrializing world? Literature on the twenty‐first‐century developmental state emphasizes the role of democratic competition and civil society in causing political parties to take up new agendas, while power resources theory stresses the role of left‐wing political parties and labor unions in policy adoption. Yet, core tenets of these the…

“Professional Movements” and the Expansion of Access to Healthcare in the Industrializing World
Explanations for the expansion of the welfare state have frequently centered on the importance of left-wing political parties and labor unions. Scholars have even pointed to the rare but growing significance of social democracy in the industrializing world. Yet, in the field of healthcare, labor unions frequently oppose sweeping universalistic reforms that threaten to erode members’ existing benefits, and those most in need of healthcare in rural…

The Idea of Community in the Study of Writing
In The Country and the City, Raymond Williams writes of how, after a boyhood in a Welsh village, he came to the city, to Cambridge, only then to hear townsmen, academics, an influential version of what country life, country literature, really meant: a prepared and persuasive cultural history (6). This odd double movement, this irony, in which one only begins to understand the place one has come from through the act of leaving it, proved to be one…
Who Governs? Autonomous Political Networks as a Challenge to Power in Thailand
Recent scholarship examining political contestation in Thailand has emphasised concepts such as "network monarchy," while pointing to the populism and enduring political influence of Thaksin Shinawatra. While this descriptive work has helped shed light on the architecture of governance in Thailand, it has not been embedded in a broader theoretical approach that might help to train our attention on other powerful actors that play important roles i…

Political repression, civil society and the politics of responding to Aids in the BRICS nations
The policy responses to human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) nations have played out amid radically different political environments that have shaped state-civil society relations in critical ways. In contrasting these different environments, this article offers the first comparison of the policy response to AIDS in the BRICS nations and seeks to under…
Uneven inclusion
‘Post-national’ scholars have taken the extension of social rights to migrants that are normally accorded to citizens as evidence of the growing importance of norms of ‘universal personhood’ and the declining importance of the nation-state. However, the distinct approach taken by the state toward another understudied category of non-citizen – stateless people – complicates these theories by demonstrating that the state makes decisions about group…

The program was sidetracked until late in the session by the court reform proposal. While no action was taken, all of the major recommendations of the Committee …

Legislative Control of Administration
The Senatorial Rejection of Leland Olds
One of the most important powers of the United States Senate—but one largely neglected in studies of Congress—is that of passing upon presidential appointments. At its regular session in 1950, the Senate granted its “advice and consent” to 25,590 nominations and rejected 4; in addition, 6 nominations were withdrawn by the President and 99 were not acted upon. The great bulk of these cases, some 23,056 of them, involved the promotions of military …

The Emergency National Defense Organization
A GREAT national defense program, such as this country is now undertaking, requires adequate and effective organization, not only for the conduct of military enterprise, but also for the mobilization of every part of our national economy, including government itself. The organization for over-all management and direction, with which this article is concerned, is of tremendous importance to the successful prosecution of the program. Modern warfare…

Federal Financial Participation in Social Work as a Permanent Policy
The Social Security Program of the United States
The Federal Social Security Act, which may be regarded as the central core of the social security program, is an omnibus act, containing the following features: (1) a national, compulsory oldage insurance plan, covering all employees except certain exempted groups; (2) two measures designed to stimulate the states to enact state unemployment compensation laws, namely, (a) a uniform nation-wide tax upon employers, against which a credit is allowab…

The Relations of Political Scientists with Public Officials
In the summer of 1939, President Charles G. Haines set up this committee and instructed it to study broadly the contribution which political scientists are making to government, their relations with public officials, and how these relations might be made closer and more effective. The problem assigned to the committee is one of great importance to the future of political science. The challenge to political scientists to make an effective contribu…

Needed Reforms in the Federal Budget System
IT HAS been increasingly recognized in recent years that Congress is poorly organized and equipped to perform what is perhaps its greatest single task-that of reviewing and passing on the federal budget and determining the fiscal policies of the government. No substantial change has been made in the process of congressional review of the budget since the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 was adopted, though on the executive side great improvement…
