Social capital to strengthen health policy and health systems
This article recounts the development of a model for social capital building developed over the course of interventions focused on HIV-related stigma and discrimination, safe motherhood and reproductive health. Through further engagement with relevant literature, it explores the nature of social capital and suggests why undertaking such a process can enhance health policy and programmes, advocacy and governance for improved health systems strengt…
Correlates of condom use in a sample of MSM in Ecuador
Our data illustrate the urgent need for targeted HIV-prevention programs for MSM populations in Ecuador. MSM have the highest HIV prevalence in the country, and condom use is extremely low. It is imperative that prevention strategies be re-evaluated and re-prioritized to more effectively respond to the Ecuadorian epidemic
The Disavowal of the Social in the American Reception of Durkheim
In the last decade or more, the central texts of structural theorizing – Hegel, Marx, Durkheim, Weber – have become part of a seemingly outdated problematic of class, history and society, and this has led to the erosion of some of the most central concepts of sociological theory. Terms such as the ‘social’ and the ‘structural’ no longer seem able to identify materially existing collectivities, their mode of existence or their specific system of s…
Response to Lukin Robinson; Reply to Ken Morrison
I am astonished! Here I thought that Monthly Review was a socialist, marxist-informed journal and then it publishes Lukin Robinson's "The Ontario Election and After." Where is an analysis of the reality of governing in a non-sovereign province within a capitalist state? Where is the comparison of the Ontario New Democratic Party's performance during a period of economic crises in comparison with that of social democratic parties in Great Britain,…
Stalinism, Imperialism, and Cuba
A couple of suggestions for articles you might consider doing. Much is made in the anti-left propaganda about the millions who died as a result of Stalin's policies, the gulags, etc. But has anybody done a body count of the casualties of U.S. anti-Communist activities? You suggest two in the latest issue—the East Timor invasion and the suppression of the Communists in Malaysia which I will bet were at least partially a result of U.S. pressure. An…

On "Public-Service Unionism"; Reply by Paul Johnston
As someone who has been an active union member for seven or eight years (in the carpenters' union), I was interested in seeing what Paul Johnston would have to say in his article on public service unionism (MR, September 1978). While disappointed, I was not surprised, since there is so very, very little being written on labor today which is worth reading.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are …
The Businessman Voter in Thunder Bay
Cette étude du comportement électoral des homines d'affaires de Thunder Bay démontre: (1) qu'ils accordent leur appui à l'élite d'un parti sur le plan fédéral et à l'élite d'un autre parti sur le plan provincial; (2) que cet appui prend la forme non seulement de votes et de contributions financières, mais aussi d'une pratique qui consiste à mettre à la disposition du parti favorisé un candidat de choix, en l'occurrence un ancien président de la C…
