Conspiracy Theories and the Zika Epidemic
After a Zika outbreak began in Brazil in April 2015, narratives blamed the virus on a variety of international actors, including chemical companies and the Gates Foundation. Many of these narratives drew upon older conspiracy theories that had circulated in Latin America during the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. Whether these narratives denounced transgenic mosquitoes or pesticides, they reflected not only the fear created by a mysterious wave of …
Wet Markets and Avian Influenza
After the emergence of H5N1 avian influenza in 1997 Hong Kong implemented a sophisticated system to regulate live poultry markets. While this system is well implemented and thorough, it also has limitations. The rise of H7N9 avian influenza (which is typically acquired through contact with poultry, including in live markets) makes this an appropriate time to revisit the ethical and practical issues related to this trade. Based on data from field …
Adopting the Principles of Universal Design into International and Global Studies’ Programs and Curriculum
The ideals of universal design have profoundly impacted instruction, policy, and infrastructure in course architecture and design within elementary education and at some universities. Within international and global studies, however, these principles have not deeply affected either pedagogy or scholarship despite the fact that classes in international studies may include more international students and third culture kids1 than classes in other pr…
Political Polarization and Nisman’s Death
The death of Alberto Nisman, the chief investigator of the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina, unleashed conspiracy theories and significant political turmoil upon President Cristina Fernández. We study the case and trace two of these theories, asking what they tell us about the Argentine political system and what can be inferred with respect to other countries in Latin America. We confirm that nations with high levels of political polarization are f…
Whom do you trust? Doubt and conspiracy theories in the 2009 influenza pandemic
The 2009 pandemic of H1N1 influenza led people around the globe to create narratives about the epidemic defined by the question of trust; these narratives ranged from true conspiracy theories to simply accounts in which mistrust and betrayal formed a motif. In particular, most of these narratives reflected a fear of capitalism and globalization, although in specific regions, other issues—such as religion—played a more central role. These stories …
Biopiracy and vaccines
Viral samples of avian influenza are essential to preparing pre-pandemic vaccines. In 2007, the conflicting interests of the developed and developing nations led Indonesia to briefly stop sharing viral samples. The result was a struggle in which the two blocs argued for different paradigms for viral sample sharing. The first paradigm, articulated by the developed world, depicted the issue as one of health security, in which international law mand…
Spirit Beings, Mental Illness, and Murder
This article builds on the extensive literature regarding the Algonquian belief in the windigo, a cannibal spirit, by examining how traders of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) viewed this phenomenon from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century. As native people brought windigos to posts for care or sought help from HBC employees to protect their families, traders responded to this disorder based on their company's economic interests and their…
A Case for Guarded Optimism
The Tribute of Blood
Peter Beattie’s book uses impressment and conscription as a lens through which to examine broader cultural and political issues. To make this connection, Beattie draws on a wide range of sources, including eighteenth-century songs, soldiers’ tattoos, congressional records, and cartoons (some marvelous examples of which are included in his book). The result is a highly original work that is not only a political history but also a social study that…
The Grand Illusion
The Grand Illusion analyzes the impact of European military institutions on Hispanic America in general and examines the putative Prussianization of the Chilean army in particular. The authors focus on Chile's attempt to import and assimilate foreign military methods, doctrine, and materiel. They incorporate research from Chilean, Austrian, German, British, and American archives to offer a new interpretation of Chile's military reforms. The autho…
For la Patria
Drawing largely on secondary sources, Brian Loveman has written a careful history of Latin American militaries and their involvement in civilian affairs. His work is impressive for its breadth. Loveman begins with the origins of the military’s self-perception in the reconquista and the colonial period, and then uses nationalism and nation building as unifying concepts to show how the military adapted its old ideals to the nineteenth century. With…
Military Terror and Silence in Brazil, 1910-1945
Throughout the twentieth century, the Brazilian military has gone to great lengths to conceal its use of terror. The armed forces have kidnapped journalists, censored newspapers, and threatened authors. Such censorship and silencing have not only limited criticism from powerful social groups, but have also enabled the military to defend political myths that are in its interest. To date, however, few scholars have carefully examined military terro…
The Official Story
During World War II, 25,000 Brazilian soldiers served in Brazil's Expeditionary Force (Forfa Expediciondria Brasileira), which fought the German army in Italy. Despite initial setbacks and frustrations, Brazilian troops did achieve some successes, although the greatest impact of the expeditionary force (FEB) was probably not in Europe but back in Brazil, where it became a symbol of national pride.1 During the war, the paradox of a dictatorship se…
Shady Business
An enduring paradox lies at the heart of Brazilian politics. The Brazilian Army has long suffered from corruption at the highest levels so extreme as to create disquiet throughout the institution. Yet the Brazilian military, like other armed forces in Latin America, has justified its involvement in politics and society by accusing civilians of corruption. Despite repeated revelations of military corruption, soldiers and civilians as well have som…
