商品描述

This book critically analyses the influence of international policies and guidelines on the performance of interventions aimed at reducing health inequities in Latin America, with special emphasis on health promotion and health in all policies strategies. While the implementation of these interventions plays a key role in strengthening these countries' capacity to respond to current and future challenges, the urgency and pressures of cooperation and funding agencies to show results consistent with their own agendas not only hampers this goal, but also makes the territory invisible, hiding the real problems faced by most Latin American countries, diminishing the richness of local knowledge production, and hindering the development of relevant proposals that consider the territory's conditions and cultural identity. Departing from this general analysis, the authors search for answers to the following questions:

  • Why, despite the importance of the theoretical advances r

egarding actions to address social and health inequities, haven't Latin American countries been able to produce the expected results?
  • Why do successful initiatives only take place within the framework of pilot projects?
  • Why does the ideology of health promotion and health in all policies mainly permeate structures of the health sector, but not other sectors?
  • Why are intersectoral actions conjunctural initiatives, which often fail to evolve into permanent practices?

    • Based on an extensive literature review, case studies, personal experiences, and interviews with key informants in the region, Globalization and Health Inequities in Latin America presents a strategy that uses monitoring and evaluation practices for enhancing the capacity of Latin American and other low and middle-income countries to implement sustainable processes to foster inclusiveness, equity, social justice and human rights.

    這本書批判性地分析了國際政策和指導方針對拉丁美洲減少健康不平等干預措施表現的影響，特別強調健康促進和「健康在所有政策中」策略。雖然這些干預措施的實施在增強這些國家應對當前和未來挑戰的能力中扮演著關鍵角色，但合作和資助機構對於顯示與其自身議程一致的結果的緊迫性和壓力，不僅妨礙了這一目標的實現，還使得地區的真實情況變得不明顯，隱藏了大多數拉丁美洲國家所面臨的實際問題，減少了當地知識生產的豐富性，並阻礙了考慮地區條件和文化身份的相關提案的發展。在這一總體分析的基礎上，作者尋求以下問題的答案：

    - 為什麼儘管在解決社會和健康不平等方面的理論進展重要，拉丁美洲國家卻無法產生預期的結果？
    - 為什麼成功的倡議僅在試點項目的框架內發生？
    - 為什麼健康促進和「健康在所有政策中」的意識形態主要滲透到健康部門的結構中，而不是其他部門？
    - 為什麼跨部門行動是偶發性倡議，往往無法演變為持久的實踐？

    基於廣泛的文獻回顧、案例研究、個人經驗以及與該地區關鍵知情者的訪談，《全球化與拉丁美洲的健康不平等》提出了一種策略，利用監測和評估實踐來增強拉丁美洲及其他低中收入國家實施可持續過程的能力，以促進包容性、公平、社會正義和人權。
