Meeting the UN's development targets in Cuba: Lessons from the global south
Para muchos el análisis de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio de las Naciones Unidas (MDG en inglés) deja unas imágenes de comunidades pobres y marginalizadas en el sur global que reciben apoyo financiero, préstamos, y apoyo de varias ONG del norte global. Pero, ¿puede un país del sur global, con recursos muy limitados, alcanza tanto los MDG como los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (SDG en inglés), y hacerlo sin el apoyo, apoyo financiero…
Karl Jaspers and Karl Popper: The shared legacy
Jaspers and Popper have nothing in common beyond the legacy of Immanuel Kant’s philosophy. Popper dismisses Jaspers ‘existentialism’ as nihilistic and historicist; Jaspers never cites Popper. Jaspers describes Kant as ‘the philosopher for me’; Popper is an unorthodox Kantian whose critical rationalism put the finishing touch to Kant. For Kant, knowledge is not a simple copy of reality, but begins with reason’s questioning. Jaspers and Popper too …
Social Upgrading as Market Fantasy: The Limits of Global Value Chain Integration
Confronted with mixed evidence linking economic upgrading in global value chains to improved social outcomes, proponents have called for a new emphasis on “social upgrading” to promote better employment, gender equality, and poverty reduction. Originally focused on a central role for states, unions, and social movements, the discourse on social upgrading has shifted, emphasizing the benefits of corporate social responsibility and global markets. …

Since 1960, the Cuban government has been providing health care internationalism programmes throughout the globe. Despite the now overwhelming international recognition for Cuba’s medical efforts, protests against Cuban medical personnel working abroad are not uncommon. This article analyzes comparable patterns of protest in Brazil, Bolivia, and Haiti, where the protests have been driven primarily by ideological and class biases, as well as the V…

The significance of this programme is explored, as well as what it illustrates about south-south cooperation as a whole
Karl Jaspers on the disease entity: Kantian ideas and Weberian ideal types
Jaspers’ nosology is indebted to Immanuel Kant’s theory of knowledge. He drew the distinction of form and content from the Transcendental Analytic of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. The distinction is universal to all knowledge, including psychopathology. Individual experience is constituted by a form or category of the Understanding to give a determinate or knowable object classified into the generic type of a real disease entity. The applicatio…
Monitoring and benchmarking government policies and actions to improve the healthiness of food environments: A proposed G overnment H ealthy F ood E nvironment P olicy I ndex
Government action is essential to increase the healthiness of food environments and reduce obesity, diet‐related non‐communicable diseases ( NCD s), and their related inequalities.

Recommendations from relevant authoritative organizations and expert advisory groups for reducing obesity and NCD s were examined, and pertinent…
From Cooperation to Capacitation: Cuban Medical Internationalism in the South Pacific
This article analyses Cuba's medical missions in the South Pacific and specifically in Timor-Leste (East Timor), the largest outside of Latin America. Here, the adaptation of Cuba's low-technology and low-resourced preventive-focused medical model (based on the development of human capital) is used to highlight lessons regarding effective medical cooperation. This article finds that these lessons should be drawn from the dynamic and creative adap…

Powerless Children—Powerful Systems
This article looks at the needs of children and families now that there is increasing inter‐agency conflict. The situation is considered from the perspective of one agency, educational psychology and it is suggested that the pressures on one agency are common to all agencies. It is argued that the impact of the changes imposed upon agencies conspires to enhance the power of systems and diminish opportunities for children and families to be in con…

Karl Jaspers as a Kantian psychopathologist, II: The concept of form and content in Jaspers' psychopathology
Karl Jaspers as a Kantian psychopathologist, I The philosophical origins of the concept of form and content
This paper is the first of a series examining the legacy of Karl Jaspers' psychopathy within Immanuel Kant's theory of knowledge. The debt in which Jaspers' philosophizing stands to Kant's philosophy has often been pointed out, although there is no systematic study. The debt in which Jaspers' psychopathology stands to Kant's theory of knowledge has never been previously noted. This paper situates Kant's theory of knowledge between the empiricist …
