Participant Perspectives on a Community Health Worker Intervention to Reduce Infant Mortality
Findings underscore how programs like BxHSP can help address gaps in resources and improve health and well-being for pregnant and postpartum participants. Limitations include possible selection, recall, and/or social desirability biases as response rates were low and data were self-reported and retrospective. Limitations were addressed in part through triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data
Toward safer opioid prescribing
Rates of opioid use disorder and associated deaths remain alarmingly high. Measures to address the epidemic have included reductions in opioid prescribing, in part guided by the Centers for Disease Control Opioid Prescribing Guideline (CDCG). While reductions in over-prescribing have occurred, these measures have also resulted in decreased access and adverse outcomes for some stable opioid-treated chronic pain patients. The TOWard SafER Opioid Pr…
Patient recommendations for opioid prescribing in the context of HIV care
It is widely acknowledged that the growing opioid epidemic and associated increase in overdose deaths necessitates a reexamination of processes and procedures related to an opioid prescription for the treatment of chronic pain. However, the perspectives of patients, including those at the highest risk for opioid-related harms, are largely missing from this reexamination. To partially address the gap, we conducted a pair of one-day public delibera…
Economic statecraft at the frontier
East Asian countries come most to mind when considering the role of governmental institutions in the contemporary economy. Specifically, it is widely assumed that the openness of economies, the maturation of companies, and their participation in global production chains have created extraordinary pressures that erode opportunities and incentives for government-business collaboration. We test this assumption in the South Korean context, with a foc…
America Inc.?
For more than half a century, the United States has led the world in developing major technologies that drive the modern economy and underpin its prosperity. In America, Inc. , Linda Weiss attributes the U.S. capacity for transformative innovation to the strength of its national security state, a complex of agencies, programs, and hybrid arrangements that has developed around the institution of permanent defense preparedness and the pursuit of te…
Power paradox
The concept of infrastructural power is arguably one of the most useful in the social sciences. It has helped both to illuminate the extraordinary capacity, reach, and impact of the modern state vis-à-vis its pre-industrial predecessor, and to cast light on why some modern states appear more able than others to execute their decisions and pursue their ambitions. Although sometimes mischaracterized as a ‘weak’ state, the capacity of the state cent…
Knowing is not enough
Despite having higher rates of HIV testing than all other racial groups, African-Americans continue to be disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic in the United States. Knowing one's status is the key step to maintaining behavioral changes that could stop the spread of the virus, yet little is known about the individual- and socio-structural-level barriers associated with HIV testing and communication among heterosexual African-American me…
Advancing the Use of Evidence-Based Decision-Making in Local Health Departments With Systems Science Methodologies
Objectives. We assessed how systems science methodologies might be used to bridge resource gaps at local health departments (LHDs) so that they might better implement evidence-based decision-making (EBDM) to address population health challenges. Methods. We used the New York Academy of Medicine Cardiovascular Health Simulation Model to evaluate the results of a hypothetical program that would reduce the proportion of people smoking, eating fewer …
Understanding Prolonged Cessation from Heroin Use
Our findings indicate that cessation may be facilitated by multifaceted and individualized strategies, suggesting a need for personal and comprehensive approaches to treatment
Developmental Politics in Transition
Blending theory and case studies, this volume explores a vitally important and topical aspect of developmentalism, which remains a focal point for scholarly and policy debates around democracy and soc
Infrastructural power, economic transformation, and globalization
This chapter attempts two things. One is to show how Mann's theory of state power continues to generate new insights that advance the debates on state capacity, economic transformation, and globalization. The other is to suggest how these insights are at odds with some aspects of Mann's recent work on globalization. Mann's theoretical and historical work on state power, as even the most cursory survey would reveal, has influenced scholars young a…
Free trade in mad cows
Australia is the world's second largest beef exporter, dominating the highest value beef markets of Japan and Korea. Australia's competitiveness is underpinned primarily by its freedom from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)—better known as ‘Mad Cow’ disease—thanks to strict animal feeding and importation regulations adopted in 1966. Why then would the Australian beef industry appear to agree to soften prohibitions on beef imports from BSE-af…
The business of buying American
For all its importance as a policy tool around the globe, the study of public procurement has barely begun. The role of government purchasing in trade strategy, in particular, has been virtually ignored in the international political economy literature. We argue that government procurement increasingly serves as a weapon in the US arsenal of tools for sponsoring national champions, for securing the domestic front against foreign competitors, and …
Michael Mann, State Power, and the Two Logics of Globalisation
It may seem premature to comment on work that is largely still in progress, but some of Michael Mann's writing on globalisation has already begun to make its mark. In this article, I comment on two of Mann's central insights which emphasise complementarities in the global-national relationship and indicate how these may advance the globalisation debate concerning industrialised states
Global governance, national strategies
Global and national governance are sometimes seen to stand in a zero-sum relationship, particularly in the post-GATT era of multilateral trade. A more nuanced view expects states to seek the benefits of multilateralism whilst finding convenient loopholes and escape routes from its policy constraints. This paper steers a different course, focusing on the overt (‘legitimate’) measures industrialized states are undertaking to succeed in the internat…
States in the Global Economy
The growing interconnectedness of national economies and an expanding awareness of global interdependence in the 1990s have generated lively debate over the future of national governance. In a world of mobile capital, are states vital to the social and economic wellbeing of their citizens? A number of changes in the state's domestic and international environment - ranging from regulatory reforms and welfare state restructuring to the proliferatio…
Is the state being ‘transformed’ by globalisation?
It is time to revisit the orienting questions of this volume and to consider how far our answers take forward the debate on globalisation and the state. What do the pressures of global capitalism imply for the state's ability to govern the domestic economy? How does increasing economic openness affect the institutional capacities and policies of the world's governing authorities? The chapters in this book have been concerned to draw out the impli…
Introduction
An issue of central importance in the globalisation debate today concerns the impact of increasing economic openness upon the state's capacity to govern the national economy. As participants in that debate, we seek answers to the big questions, such as whether, in a world of highly mobile capital, states – as territorially centred authorities – are still vital to the social and economic well-being of their citizens. We want to know what, if anyth…

Taiwan et la Corée, ou la mondialisation encadrée
Dès avant la crise asiatique, la Corée et Taiwan avaient commencé à réviser leurs modèles économiques d' "Etat développeur" (developmental state). La Corée avait déréglementé le secteur financier pour échapper aux liens très forts qui unissaient les chaebols et l'Etat. Mais elle s'en est trouvée plus vulnérable à la crise. Aussi est-ce l'Etat, et non le marché, qui conduit aujourd'hui sa restructuration ; en outre, l'ouverture du marché s'accompa…
Developmental states in transition
Capitalist diversity is doomed in a global economy and the coming century will see ever more countries adapting their institutions to resemble more closely the Anglo-American model. Or so many believe. But to what extent have the ideological and institutional fundamentals of East Asian developmental states been eroded and in what measure is change being driven by an external-economic logic? Five propositions are developed in the light of the catc…
Globalization and national governance
‘Regardless of how you define or measure it, globalization is real and its impact on state power is significant’, says the globalist. ‘But how do you know?’ replies the sceptic. In this opening interchange one sees the origin of a controversy that after almost a decade shows few signs of abating. Globalists continue to maintain that there are big, fin-de-siècle transformations under way in the world at large, which can be laid at the door of some…
Managed Openness
There are two recurring themes that continue to stir interest in the topic of economic globalization. One concerns the character of the global system that is apparently being created through the integration of production, finance, and trade. Can the world economy be selfequilibrating, as many of the more
The Myth of the Powerless State
Single Women in Nepal
This paper focuses on familial assistance to those high caste Nepalese women who are either widowed or estranged from their husbands. Some twenty percent of high caste women may be single at any given point in time; because of discrimination in rules of inheritance, educational access and access to marketable skills, the likelihood of their full self-sufficiency, through property or work, is relatively small. Assistance from family is, therefore,…
Globalization and the Myth of the Powerless State
The new globalist orthodoxy posits the steady disintegration of national economies and the demise of the state’s domestic power. This article, instead, seeks to show why the modern notion of the powerless state, with its accompanying reports about the demise of national diversity, is fundamentally misleading. It is

Governed interdependence
Analyses of East Asia's high‐performance economies have highlighted the advantages of a coordinated approach to market failures. With states dominating the process, both public and private agencies are increasingly involved. The recent literature sees public‐private cooperation as a limit to state capacity and thus a challenge to statism. Within an institutionalist framework, this paper proposes a fresh view of the government‐business relationshi…

Explaining the Underground Economy
Recent developments within western capitalism have stimulated considerable interest in the collective, organized aspects of clandestine production, which form the core of the contemporary underground economy. Although systematic analysis has barely begun, two claims predominate in the international literature: that 'off-thebooks' employment is extensive and rising throughout the advanced capitalist world; and that this is related either to a cris…

Demythologising the petite bourgeoisie
The political volatility and economic instability of the petite bourgeoisie are taken for granted in most political and sociological analysis. Viewed as a pivotal force in historic and contemporary movements of the extreme right, it is widely believed to exercise a constant ‘threat’ potential, thus guaranteeing its protection throughout the post‐war period — above all in the Italian context where small economic entrepreneurs persist in substantia…

The Myth of the Powerless State
Conventional wisdom argues that the integration of the world economy is making national governments less powerful, but Linda Weiss disagrees. In an era when global society and the transnational market are trendy concepts, she suggests that state capacities for domestic transformative strategies provide a competitive advantage. Some of the most successful economies rely on state-informed and state-embedded institutions for governing the economy. I…
