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. <
