Care pathways for critically ill children aged 0–5 years arriving at district hospitals in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, and Niger (2022)
The recommended pathway is largely adhered to, yet parallel pathways require attention, notably in Guinea and Mali. A better understanding of healthcare-seeking behaviours can help remove barriers to care, improving the likelihood that a sick child will receive optimal care
Understanding Catastrophe Insurance as a Commons
This paper suggests that catastrophe insurance schemes should be considered within the framework of public goods and commons, and as a form of polycentric organization whose success depends on collective action. The first section situates catastrophe insurance within the "state withdrawal hypothesis:" while neoliberalism is usually understood as promoting a shift from social and solidary insurance programs to private, market-oriented ones, this d…
Modernity’s exclusions
From small to big data
If insurance is a technology for governing hazards, the tools for doing so have changed over time and seem to concentrate, in the second half of the twentieth century, on the notion of risk-based premiums. The narrative in the insurance literature is that by adjusting the premium to the risk, the insurer is sending a signal to the policyholder about his risk, therefore encouraging prevention. The purpose of this article is to contextualize this p…
The moral economies of natural disasters insurance
Over the second half of the twentieth century, the moral economy of insurance has shifted from solidarity and mutual support to individual responsibility. In this context, the French regime for the protection against natural catastrophes that took shape in the 1980s exemplifies a strong and almost anachronical political will to foster solidarity at the national level, thus questioning the moral economy of responsibility. This paper offers a textu…
Melting contestation
Epidemic and Insurance
Despite their common core in statistics, insurance and epidemiology propel two different forms of solidarity. In insurance, the collective is a source of protection, thanks to the pooling of risks; in epidemics by contrast, the group remains the source of danger for the individual. The aim of this paper is to highlight the conceptions of community and solidarity at play in epidemics in contradistinction to insurance, with a focus on the shift int…
Personalization as a promise
The aim of this article is to assess the impact of Big Data technologies for insurance ratemaking, with a special focus on motor products.The first part shows how statistics and insurance mechanisms adopted the same aggregate viewpoint. It made visible regularities that were invisible at the individual level, further supporting the classificatory approach of insurance and the assumption that all members of a class are identical risks. The second …
Insurance, Big Data and Changing Conceptions of Fairness
This paper aims to show how insurance mechanisms that historically propelled a conception of fairness based on solidarity and a collective approach shifted along the 20th century towards an idealistic adjustment to individual risk. Insurance originally assumed that, while individual hazards remained unknown, risk could be measured and managed on the aggregate. An examination of the proceedings of the American Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) duri…
The rationality of the digital governmentality
While it is often claimed that the emerging digital governmentality functions as a new apparatus of surveillance, the aim of this paper is to characterise this regime in relation to Foucault’s disciplinary, liberal and neoliberal governmentality, hence insisting on the transformation of disciplinary surveillance implied by current technological developments. My claim is that statistics, previously employed for the management of populations, is no…
