The politics of evidence in health system crises
Health systems worldwide are in crisis, facing financial sustainability challenges, workforce shortages and shifting demands due to demographic change. Limited or decreasing public resources, aid cuts, population ageing and health workforce shortages affect countries in different but serious ways, leading to a sense of ongoing crisis. This article investigates the politics of health system crisis and its contentious interpretation in Colombia, wh…

The quest for diffusible community health worker projects and the pitfalls of scaling culture
Researchers of community health worker (CHW) models in many countries are looking for ways to scale without losing one of their main advantages, their context-sensitivity. This paper looks at one research strategy to make CHW projects scalable, namely by developing a generic notion of culture-sensitivity. Based on in-depth qualitative analysis, we reconstruct how ‘culture’ has been enshrined in a US-based CHW project and specifically in the artef…
The political economy of consulting firms in reform processes
Existing research interprets the rise of consulting firms in intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) primarily as evidence of the global spread of managerialism. We highlight that consultants are not merely carriers of business-like world cultural norms, but also part of contentious IGO politics and governance. We unpack the consulting black box and reconstruct how consulting firms are hired and active in IGOs. Analyzing the experiences of the Wor…
Domestic humanitarianism
What are the boundaries of humanitarianism? This question is controversially debated among humanitarian practitioners and scholars, given ever-changing spaces and temporalities of human suffering. This paper explores an understudied site of this controversy: the domestic humanitarian engagement of Médecins Sans Frontières and Médecins du Monde, two NGOs widely regarded as epitomes of liberal international humanitarianism. Their Mission France sta…
Priorities, Partners, Politics
The World Health Organization ( WHO ) is once more asked to reinvent itself and become more effective. This essay discusses recurrent reform proposals directed at the WHO which, in different ways, ask it to find a strategic focus and thereby its niche in the crowded global health arena. Looking back at decades of reform endeavors at the WHO , it exposes the contradictions and unresolved normative conflicts with regard to the WHO ’s priorities. Ul…
How Do Professions Globalize? Lessons from the Global South in US Medical Education
This article explores the professional construction of the space of Global Health. I argue that the growth of Global Health as a field of practice does not merely indicate an intensification of North-South intervention. It is also a professional project of reimporting lessons from the South to countries in the North. I focus on the emerging didactic regime for Global Health in US medical education and the deterritorialized 'global' lessons that s…
Achieving access
This book explores the mobilization of professional elites for the extension of health services in three countries during their transition to democracy: Thailand, Brazil and South Africa. Thailand’

The public valuation of religion in global health governance
This article explores how the role of religion is evaluated in global health institutions, focusing on policy debates in the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank. Drawing on Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot’s pragmatist approach to justification, I suggest that religious values are creative and worldly performances. The public value of religion is established through a two-pronged justification process, combining generalizing argu…
Orders of worth and the moral conceptions of health in global politics
The article analyzes the contested concept of global health through the lens of orders of worth. Drawing on pragmatist political and social theory, especially the work of Boltanski and Thévenot, I conceptualize orders of worth as moral narratives that connect visions of universal humankind to ideas about moral worth and deficiency. They thereby differ from the self/other narrative of political identity that is emphasized in International Relation…
International Organizations as Orchestrators
International Organizations as Orchestrators reveals how IOs leverage their limited authority and resources to increase their effectiveness, power, and autonomy from states. By 'orchestrating' intermediaries – including NGOs – IOs can shape and steer global governance without engaging in hard, direct regulation. This volume is organized around a theoretical model that emphasizes voluntary collaboration and support. An outstanding group of scholar…
The path-dependent design of international organizations
The article puts forward a historical institutionalist account of how international organizations are ‘designed.’ I argue that deliberate institutional design is circumscribed by path-dependent power dynamics within international organizations. Power-driven path dependence is used to explain that organizations lock in and reinforce historical privileges of international organization subunits. Early winners in the international organization lock i…
WHO decides on the exception? Securitization and emergency governance in global health
This article analyses the emergency governance of international organizations by combining securitization theory with legal theory on the state of exception. Our main argument is that where issues are securitized as global threats, exceptionalism can emerge at the level of supranational bodies, endowing them with the decisionist authority to define emergencies and guide political responses. We theorize the ‘emergency trap’, which is triggered whe…
Gradual Change in International Organisations
This research note discusses limitations of principal-agent (PA) analysis in explaining gradual change in international organisations (IOs). It suggests that historical institutionalism (HI) can fill important gaps left by the PA approach and identifies scope conditions for both approaches. For this purpose, a distinction is made between two sources of state power that PA usually treats as synergistic – namely the formal control of IO decisions a…

The false promise of the better argument
Effective argumentation in international politics is widely conceived as a matter of persuasion. In particular, the ‘logic of arguing’ ascribes explanatory power to the ‘better argument’ and promises to illuminate the conditions of legitimate normative change. This article exposes the self-defeating implications of the Habermasian symbiosis between the normative and the empirical force of arguments. Since genuine persuasion is neither observable …
