This thought-provoking monograph analyzes the longstanding
political and economic structures underlying entrenched health
inequities in rural areas worldwide. Bypassing familiar data on the
subject, it critiques existing approaches to why core social
determinants of health are underrepresented in rural communities,
and synthesizes knowledge from health behaviors to spatial politics
to make creative, equitable suggestions for intervention. The
author reviews classic economic and current sociopolitical theory
to pinpoint governments' decision-making processes behind resource
allocation as they translate into poor service access, service
quality, and health outcomes. In reply, corrective policy measures
are recommended to address these conditions at the root-cause
level, in keeping with global goals of improved health for all.
Included in the coverage: * Rural health disparities: the political
economy. * Rural health disparities: the economic argument. *
Social disorganization in rural communities. * Rural health
disparities and social disorder: public policy responses. * The
political economy: an era of institutional cynicism? With its
forceful argument for dealing with a growing but often invisible
crisis, Application of the Political Economy to Rural Health
Disparities makes a significant text for graduate and undergraduate
programs in public and international affairs, planning and public
policy, public health, public administration, and economics. Public
health and advocacy organizations will also benefit from the book's
vision.
