Disease and Illness, Political Ecology of
This entry offers a definition of the political ecology framework and its application to disease ecology. Political ecology is an analytical social theory framework that focuses on the relationships between political, economic, and social factors and environmental and health issues. The central elements of this framework include context, history, scale, and human agency. The argument is that human–environment relations at local, regional, and glo…

Assessing the reduction in infant mortality rates in Malawi over the 1990–2010 decades
One of the key objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was to improve the lives of infants and children, particularly the reduction of high infant and childhood mortality rates throughout the developing world. This paper examines the experiences of Malawi in tackling the problem of high infant and childhood mortality over recent decades, 1990-2010. We highlight the strategies that were used in Malawi which led to Malawi's stellar pe…
Geographic Assessment of Unattended Swimming Pools in Post-Katrina New Orleans, 2006–2008
In this study, we examined the spatial and temporal patterns of unattended swimming pools and determined the effect of neighborhood deterioration on odds of a pool being unattended in New Orleans, Louisiana, from 2006 to 2008, a period during which the city experienced widespread devastation from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. A surfeit of unattended pools on properties abandoned by displaced residents has a number of potential direct and indirect …
The brain drain of health care professionals from sub-Saharan Africa
This article examines the flows of physicians and nurses from African countries to Europe and North America using available data sets. It offers a geographic perspective of the magnitude and flow of these skilled health care professionals and highlights positive and negative impacts of the flows on Africa’s development. The article further discusses the coercive and ‘carrot and stick’ strategies that African governments have employed during the p…

The Geography of Landmines and Implications for Health and Disease in Africa
With more than 37 million landmines in at least nineteen countries, no region suffers more than Africa from the presence of landmines. Angola alone has an estimated 15 million landmines and an amputee population of 70,000, the highest rate in the world. Multiple conflicts throughout the continent produce new minefields every day, denying people access to critical resources and severely obstructing healthcare delivery. This paper examines the heal…
Women in Chinsapo, Malawi
Malawi, a very poor country located in southern Africa, is no exception to the growing trend and severity in HIV prevalence. By the end of 2003 there were 900 000 adults and children in Malawi living with HIV/AIDS. Adult prevalence was estimated to be 15%, which is higher than the 7.1% average rate for sub-Saharan Africa. In order to understand the spread of HIV/AIDS it is imperative to address the economic, social, cultural, and political issues…

A Political Ecology Perspective on Environmental Change in Malawi with the Blantyre Fuelwood Project Area as a Case Study
This article examines deforestation-induced environmental change in the Southern Region of Malawi. The political ecology approach is used to critique this change, assessing how colonial and postcolonial forestry policies affected the landscape. It is argued that non-participatory, “top-down” government programs disempowered Malawi's peoples and allowed the environment to degrade. The Blantyre Fuelwood Project shows how the politics of land use pr…

Population Pressure, Social Change, Culture and Malawi's Pattern of Fertility Transition
Fertility rates in Malawi continue to be among the highest in the world, while mortality rates have declined significantly from 35 deaths per 1,000 population in 1965 to a low of 20 deaths per 1,000 people in 1995. This study will use crude birth rates and total fertility rates in examining the spatial context of fertility in Malawi. These are the most widely used measures for current fertility. The total fertility rate (TFR) stands for the avera…

Population Redistribution in Malawi since 1964
Population redistribution in Malawi since 1964 is examined in terms of levels and intensities of spontaneous national regional and district redistribution. Geographic patterns of internal movement and interrelationships between internal migration and selected measures of modernization are also examined. The governments development-oriented strategies are considered to be responsible for these shifts i.e. the opening of commercial estates in the c…

The Fertility Transition in Africa
Some African countries may be going through the initial stages of the fertility transition. In this article multivariate analysis based on country-level data from 1980 and 1993 assesses spatial variations and changes in fertility rates. Demographic and socioeconomic factors such as education rural or urban residence status of women and use of contraceptives are important factors in determining the onset of the fertility transition. Over the long …
