SES-1202712Stefan TimmermansTara McKayUniversity of California, Los AngelesDoctoral Dissertation Research: The Local Implementation of Global Health PrioritiesABSTRACTGlobal health policy faces the challenge of reconciling international and local goals. This dissertation examines how tensions and ties among countries shape the diffusion of health programming priorities. Using a novel dataset utilizing four waves of UN country progress reports, this study considers how organizational ties among states and elites have shaped the diffusion of health programming priorities and tests the role of organizational ties against other prominent theories of social change. Additionally, the study employs original survey and ethnographic data to examine closely the social underpinnings of organizational and popular resistance to global health priority diffusion.The intellectual merit of this study rests in its focus on the social processes that have informed the ongoing construction and diffusion of global health policy priorities at three distinct levels: transnational elites, government and non-government organizations, and ordinary citizens. This study draws from the sociological literature on health to inform an understanding of the ways in which the identification of health policy priorities is shaped by macro social forces. The study also integrates the organizational literature on institutional isomorphism with additional theories of social change and diffusion in order to reconstruct the pathways of adoption and resistance to global health policy priorities. Broader ImpactsChronic conditions and infectious diseases continue to have a major impact on morbidity and mortality around the world. They affect life expectancy and quality of life for millions of people. Policies designed at the national and supranational level that seek to prevent the transmission of illnesses, and that regulate e.g., treatments vary greatly in their effectiveness due to variation in implementation at local levels. If successful, findings from this study may inform our understanding of global health policy is made, how populations deemed at risk are identified, and the conditions under which policy goals become uncoupled from policy outcomes.

SES-12202712STEFAN TIMMERMANSTARA MCKAYUNIVERSITY，洛杉矶德学论文研究：全球卫生优先事项Abstractglobal Health政策的当地实施面临着协调国际目标和当地目标的挑战。该论文研究了国家之间的紧张关系和联系如何塑造健康计划优先事项的扩散。这项研究使用了一个利用四波联合国进步报告的新型数据集，它考虑了各州和精英之间的组织关系如何塑造健康计划优先级的扩散，并测试了组织关系与其他社会变革的其他杰出理论的作用。此外，该研究还采用了原始调查和人种学数据来仔细研究组织和对全球健康优先扩散的公众抵抗的社会基础。这项研究的智力优点在于其关注社会过程，这些过程为社会过程提供了为三种不同级别的全球卫生政策优先事项的持续建设和扩散：跨国政府的层次：跨国政府，政府，政府和非群体，普通公民和普通公民和普通公民和普通公民和普通公民。这项研究借鉴了有关健康的社会学文献，以告知人们对宏观社会力量塑造健康政策优先事项的识别方式的理解。该研究还将组织文献与机构同构的组织文献与社会变革和扩散的其他理论相结合，以重建采用和抵抗全球卫生政策优先事项的途径。 更广泛的影响，更广泛的影响力疾病和传染病继续对世界各地的发病率和死亡率产生重大影响。它们会影响数百万人的预期寿命和生活质量。 在国家和超国家层面设计的政策旨在防止疾病的传播，并且由于地方一级的实施差异而使治疗的有效性差异很大。 如果成功的话，这项研究的发现可能会为我们理解全球卫生政策的理解，如何确定被视为处于风险的人群以及政策目标与政策结果脱节的条件。
