What's In, What's Out
Vaccinate children against deadly pneumococcal disease, or pay for cardiac patients to undergo lifesaving surgery? Cover the costs of dialysis for kidney patients, or channel the money toward preventing the conditions that lead to renal failure in the first place? Policymakers dealing with the realities of limited health care budgets face tough decisions like these regularly. And for many individuals, their personal health care choices are equally stark: paying for medical treatment could push them into poverty. Many low- and middle-income countries now aspire to universal health coverage, where governments ensure that all people have access to the quality health services they need without r...
Reflexos
Este livro é baseado numa coletânea de textos produzidos no Portal Soteroprosa: Olhares Contemporâneos (www.soteroprosa.com) nos últimos três anos e meio. Os autores envolvidos se reuniram na tentativa de unificar as propostas dentro de um único tema, um elemento em comum: os desafios de um tempo em (re) construção. Os textos são articulados dentro dos seguintes temas, em forma de capítulos: Autocuidado e Comportamento, Política e Sociedade e Mídias, Representatividade e Cultura. Com esta obra, desejamos alcançar o maior número de leitores possível, pois os assuntos que circulam por essas páginas não se reduzem a um pequeno nicho acadêmico, mas vai muito além dessas fronteiras. O trabalho em forma de ensaio torna a escrita mais leve, atraente, embora sem perder o seu lado objetivo. Não segue um modelo tão rígido e estruturado como na forma de artigos, contudo isso não significa falta de rigor. É, na verdade, fruto de uma elaboração e um recorte da realidade, sem esgotá-la, produzindo assim múltiplas camadas de sentido

Global Health Impact
Every year nine million people are diagnosed with tuberculosis, every day over 13,400 people are infected with AIDs, and every thirty seconds malaria kills a child. For most of the world, critical medications that treat these deadly diseases are scarce, costly, and growing obsolete, as access to first-line drugs remains out of reach and resistance rates rise. Rather than focusing research and development on creating affordable medicines for these deadly global diseases, pharmaceutical companies instead invest in commercially lucrative products for more affluent customers. Nicole Hassoun argues that everyone has a human right to health and to access to essential medicines, and she proposes th...

Party People
Political parties are nothing without their people and candidates are essential to parties' core functions - contesting elections, filling political offices, and shaping policy. Candidates are the literal 'face' of parties, yet they are not wedded to them permanently: candidates can enter or leave politics, switch parties, move along or stay behind when parties split or merge. Even in parties that look stable, candidate change happens below the surface, ultimately altering what the parties stand for. Inspired by evolutionary theories, Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution conceptualizes candidates as 'party genes' and develops a candidate-based approach to party evolution. Tracking ca...
Third World Modernism
This set of essays challenge interpretations of the development of modernist architecture in Third World countries during the Cold War. The topics look at modernism’s part in the transnational development of building technologies and the construction of national and cultural identity.
Peopling for Profit in Imperial Brazil
Peopling for Profit provides a comprehensive history of migration to nineteenth-century imperial Brazil. Rather than focus on Brazilian slavery or the mass immigration of the end of the century, José Juan Pérez Meléndez examines the orchestrated efforts of migrant recruitment, transport to, and settlement in post-independence Brazil. The book explores Brazil's connections to global colonization drives and migratory movements, unveiling how the Brazilian Empire's engagement with privately run colonization models from overseas crucially informed the domestic sphere. It further reveals that the rise of a for-profit colonization model indelibly shaped Brazilian peopling processes and governance by creating a feedback loop between migration management and government formation. Pérez Meléndez sheds new light on how directed migrations and the business of colonization shaped Brazilian demography as well as enduring social, racial, and class inequalities. This title is part of the Flip it Open programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
