Micro-Spatial Histories of Global Labour
This volume suggests a new way of doing global history. Instead of offering a sweeping and generalizing overview of the past, we propose a ‘micro-spatial’ approach, combining micro-history with the concept of space. A focus on primary sources and awareness of the historical discontinuities and unevennesses characterizes the global history that emerges here. We use labour as our lens in this volume. The resulting micro-spatial history of labour addresses the management and recruitment of labour, its voluntary and coerced spatial mobility, its political perception and representation and the workers’ own agency and social networks. The individual chapters are written by contributors whose expertise covers the late medieval Eastern Mediterranean to present-day Sierra Leone, through early modern China and Italy, eighteenth-century Cuba and the Malvinas/Falklands, the journeys of a missionary between India and Brazil and those of Christian captives across the Ottoman empire and Spain. The result is a highly readable volume that addresses key theoretical and methodological questions in historiography. Chapter 7 is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.

Assessing Health System Performance Proof of Concept for a HSPA Dashboard of Key Indicators
This report, jointly developed by the European Observatory, OECD, and WHO Europe, serves as a proof of concept for a Health Systems Performance Assessment (HSPA) dashboard. HSPA is pivotal for health system transformation, providing policymakers with key indicators to identify and address system performance issues. This brief represents a step towards more policy-friendly dashboards, emphasizing the need for a focused set of HSPA indicators aligned with policy goals. The brief highlights the alignment and complementarity of the WHO-Observatory global HSPA framework and OECD's renewed framework, which aid policymakers in navigating health systems with actionable, policy-relevant indicators.

Health system performance assessment
Ensuring a robust and resilient health system involves policy actions which need to be implemented based on the best available evidence. This requires health systems to be monitored regularly to build on their strengths and to overcome any apparent shortcomings. In order to assist in that process, this volume, a collaboration between the World Health Organization and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, presents a new framework to support monitoring of health system performance, with a focus on detailed conceptual links between health system functions and overall system goals. This HSPA framework for Universal Health Coverage thus represents a comprehensive attempt to add...
Strengthening NCD service delivery through UHC benefit package
Under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.4, the World Health Organization (WHO) and its Member States committed to reduce premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which were responsible for 71% of all deaths globally in 2016.3 Another cornerstone of the SDG Agenda is achieving universal health coverage (UHC); SDG target 3.8 aims to “achieve UHC, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health care services and access to safe, effective, quality, and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all.” However, the COVID-19 epidemic has created major new challenges to achieving these (and other) SDGs. COVID-19 has a deadly interplay with NCDs; further, it has laid bare the fragility of health systems
Communautés et mobilités en Méditerranée de la fin XVe au milieu du XVIIIe siècle
Comment les nationes s’organisaient dans la ville ? Qu’est-ce qu’une diaspora ? Quelles sont les réactions des autorités face aux nouveaux-arrivants ? Comment parvenait-on à garder des liens malgré les distances ? À ces questions – et à bien d’autres – cet ouvrage propose de répondre à partir de réflexions d’enseignants et chercheurs, en associant aux synthèses bibliographiques des études de cas. L’ouvrage est formé par des chapitres thématiques et se divise en deux parties, l’une consacrée aux communautés – les morisques, les tsiganes, les esclaves – en tant qu’acteurs de la mobilité, l’autre centrée sur les espaces et les lieux (les fondouks des marchands, les bagnes, les routes maritimes, et ainsi de suite). En réunissant les contributions de spécialistes internationaux dans un seul ouvrage, ce volume se veut un outil de travail capable d’accompagner les candidats à la préparation au concours de l’agrégation.
Voice, agency, empowerment - handbook on social participation for universal health coverage
Social participation is an important means for governments to develop responsive health policies and programmes, which are more likely to be implemented by a broad stakeholder group. It is at the heart of the inclusive governance needed for countries to stake their individual paths towards Universal Health Coverage while ensuring that no one is left behind. As simple as it may seem in theory, it is a complex undertaking in practice, one which policy-makers struggle with. The Handbook on Social Participation for UHC is thus designed to provide practical guidance, anchored in conceptual clarifications, on strengthening meaningful government engagement with the population, communities, and civi...
