Neoliberal Health Organizing

Mohan J Dutta closely interrogates the communicative forms and practices that have been central to the establishment of neoliberal governance. In particular he examines cultural discourses of health in relationship to the market and the health implications of these cultural discourses. Using examples from around the world he explores the roles of public-private partnerships NGOs militaries and new technologies in reinforcing the link between market and health. Identifying the taken-for-granted assumptions that constitute the foundations of global neoliberal organizing he offers an alternative strategy for a grassroots-driven participatory form of global organizing of health. This inventive theoretical volume speaks to those in critical communication in health research in social policy and in contemporary political economy studies.
