This book uses a variety of empirical cases on topics including
drug development, egg donation, and governance of healthcare
facilities, to investigate how actors navigate the uncertainties
that permeate the interfaces of health, technologies, and politics
in post-Soviet settings and what the implications of their chosen
navigation routes are. Contemporary societies are imbued with
uncertainties, but the authors focus on settings where
uncertainties multiply, making decisions, practises, and relations
in everyday life precarious. Two worlds are brought into dialogue
throughout the chapters of this book with the aim of facilitating
mutual learning from one another - the world of science and
technology studies (STS) and the high-income liberal democracies of
the West, on one hand, and studies of post-socialism on the other.
In so doing, this book encourages critical learning on ensuring the
resilience of individual and societal health in situations of
profound uncertainties. This timely collection will be of great
interest to scholars, practitioners and policy makes in the fields
of sociology, biomedicine, political science and public and global
health.
