Noma as a neglected tropical disease
box The rise of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) as a global health category has undoubtedly increased awareness of hitherto unknown health problems; an example of this is the recent incorporation of noma, a severe gangrenous disease of the mouth and face, in the NTD list

Risk governance in the response to global health emergencies
The Covid-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has shown how inadequate institutional strategies interact with, and exacerbate, social inequalities, thus impacting upon the intensity of the harm produced and amplifying negative consequences. One of the lessons from this pandemic, which happens against the background of other, interconnected systemic crises, is the urgency of adopting a ‘whole-of-society’ approach to determining what does and what do…
A vida cotidiana do neoliberalismo
O crescimento do neoliberalismo nas políticas sociais brasileiras vem resultando em retrocessos nos indicadores sociais, nas condições de trabalho e no desempenho dos serviços de saúde. Não obstante, sabe-se pouco sobre como o neoliberalismo age nas práticas concretas e relações de cuidado. Este artigo visa contribuir para a análise dos impactos da neoliberalização da saúde no Brasil, com foco na capilarização do neoliberalismo no cotidiano do cu…
Rewriting global health
The concept of global health has become popular even though its origins have come under critical scrutiny: namely, its origins in colonial medicine, its links to the protection of international trade and capitalist exploitation and its Orientalist assumptions. To what extent is the concept still adequate or useful? Is it possible to rewrite global health while recognizing and tackling its multiple forms of violence? I reflect on the potentiality …
Reescrever saúde global
O conceito de saúde global popularizou-se mesmo com suas origens sendo alvo de um escrutínio crítico: nomeadamente, suas origens na medicina colonial, suas ligações com a proteção do comércio internacional e da exploração capitalista, seus pressupostos orientalistas. Até que ponto o conceito é, ainda, adequado ou proveitoso? Será possível reescrever a saúde global de forma a reconhecer e contrariar as suas múltiplas violências? Reflito sobre a po…
Neglect and Resistance in Brazil’s Pandemic
This article uses the lens of neglect to analyze Brazil’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that the neglect of COVID-19 was the result of a mixture of omissions, obstructions and actions on the part of the federal government and President Jair Bolsonaro. It also suggests that addressing Brazil’s handling of the pandemic as simply a matter of governmental failure risks overlooking the multiple forms of resistance and struggle that emer…
Uma leitura crítica das emergências em saúde global
O estudo da definição de agendas e prioridades da saúde global tem sido, nos últimos anos, uma das prioridades de uma literatura crítica que visa identificar as dimensões políticas da governança global em saúde, e que enfatiza os pontos de tensão, exclusão e desigualdade. O presente ensaio se posiciona nesta leitura crítica da saúde global, focando a construção da categoria de emergência de importância internacional. Considerando em específico o …
A critical view of the global health emergencies
The study of global health agenda-setting and issue-prioritization has been one of the key aspects of a critical literature that, in recent years, has aimed to identify the political dimensions of global health governance and to shed light on points of tension, exclusion, and inequality. This essay speaks to this critical global health literature, focusing on the construction of the category of emergencies of international concern. Considering th…
Are community health programmes always benign? Community health worker perceptions and the social construction of users in Brazil’s primary healthcare policy
We examine how community health workers (CHWs), while working as links between doctors, nurses and vulnerable groups, participate in the social construction of citizens in the implementation of Brazil's primary healthcare policy. Drawing on interviews and a vignette experiment with CHWs in the city of São Paulo, we show that perceptions of CHWs about the vulnerability and agency of health system users impact upon their referrals to other levels o…

The everyday political economy of health
How is neoliberalism implicated in concrete health vulnerabilities? How do macro-level political economy, policy and institutions translate into everyday experiences? Drawing on Marxist, feminist and International Political Economy critiques of everyday life, the article advances an everyday political economy of health focused on four key components: power, agency, intersectionality and the mutual implication of the global and the local. These co…
Discretion, power and the reproduction of inequality in health policy implementation
This article explores the mobilization of power by health workers during policy implementation, showing how in a context of discretion and resource scarcity they can reproduce inequalities in access to health services. The argument innovates theoretically by supplementing the 'street-level bureaucracy' literature, which emphasizes frontline worker discretion, with a conceptualization of power as domination encompassing the shaping of behavior, th…

have written an ambitious history of medicine and public health in Latin America that not only repositions this region in the global context, but also brings new insights into some of the most pressing contemporary debates in global health.This review considers some key contributions of this book, which overall question commonly held assumptions about the origins and trajectory of international and global health -pertaining most notably to the ro…

Ebola and the production of neglect in global health
This article argues that the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa reinscribed the neglect that has surrounded this disease. The argument develops theoretical tools for understanding how neglect is produced in global health. Arguing that neglect is connected with the production of harm and vulnerability, it stresses the importance of emotions in issue-prioritisation in global health. Focusing on the dynamics of abjection, the article shows how the 2…
Social classes matter no more? Advocacy and social reproduction
Internationally, advocacy has known a significant growth in the last decades, breeding herein the professionals the perception that there has been a wide dismantlement of the constraints which regulated the access to the profession and, within, the most capitalized positions. Making a study based upon the Portuguese advocacy its keystone, the fallacy of this idea will be uncovered — advocacy’s inner segmentation today allows it to remain a topos …
A Epidemia De Zika E Os Limites Da Saúde Global
O vírus Zika foi isolado pela primeira vez em 1947 em Uganda. Se a doença existe desde então, por que somente agora há atenção da mídia, da ciência, das agências financiadoras e dos órgãos nacionais e internacionais? A partir de uma visão crítica da saúde global, que considera os contextos sociais, políticos e ideológicos, nos quais a Zika é enquadrada, almeja-se analisar a atual epidemia de Zika em quatro eixos: (1) investigação dos processos so…
What can security do for food? Lessons from Brazil
What are the analytical benefits of using the security vocabulary when addressing issues of human well-being? And to what extent can a security framing of these issues be useful in the normative and political sense – that is, when making judgements about existing policies and when formulating and implementing alternative ones? This article uses the case of food security to engage with these questions. It argues for a shift away from conceptual fi…

Questioning health security
It has become common to speak of health security, but the meaning of the latter is often taken for granted. Existing engagements with this notion have been constrained by an excessive focus on national security and on the securitising efforts of elites. This has led to an increasingly sceptical outlook on the potentialities of security for making sense of, and helping to tackle, health problems. Inspired by the idea of security as emancipation, t…

Reclaiming the political
The critical security studies literature has been marked by a shared commitment towards the politicization of security – that is, the analysis of its assumptions, implications and the practices through which it is (re)produced. In recent years, however, politicization has been accompanied by a tendency to conceive security as connected with a logic of exclusion, totalization and even violence. This has resulted in an imbalanced politicization tha…

Controvérsia científica e conflitos ambientais em Portugal
A controvérsia científica gerada em torno do tratamento e destino a dar aos resíduos industriais perigosos em Portugal é um caso exemplar das relações problemáticas entre ciência e sociedade e entre tecnologia e democracia.

Critical Theory in International Relations and Security Studies
Twenty years have passed since the publication of Ken Booth’s seminal essay ‘Security and Emancipation’ (1991). It has been 16 years since Ken Booth and Richard Wyn Jones offered the fi rst post-graduate level course on ‘Critical Security Studies (CSS)’ at Aberystwyth University (1995/96).2 Since then, the critical body of work produced by Booth, Wyn Jones, their close collaborators and (by now many) students has come to be known as the Aberystwy…

Health, Politics and Security
This article explores the links between health, security and politics, with the objective of providing the groundwork for a political analysis of health in the discipline of International Relations. It makes two arguments. Firstly, it argues that health can be seen as form of politics; secondly, it suggests that security provides a good lens to analyse the political work of health. The article makes the case for seeing health as more than a medic…
Security, Emancipation and the Politics of Health
This book develops a new theoretical framework for the study of security issues and applies this to the case of health. Building on the work of the ‘Welsh School’ of Security Studies, and drawing on contributions from the wider critical security literature, the book provides an emancipatory perspective on the health-security nexus – one which simultaneously teases out its underlying political assumptions, assesses its political effects and identi…
