En anticipation du 19e Congres International des Sciences Historiques qui aura lieu a Oslo en aout 2000, la Commission Internationale de Demographie Historique annonce le titre d'un de ses trois sujets (les deux autres annonce a part): Baisse de mortalite aux 19e et au 20e siecles: technologies, politiques sanitaires et financements. Cette communication est un appel preliminaire pour des presentations de 20 a 30 pages qui seront selectionne tot en 1999 par le comite organisateur.
L'evolution des technologies au 19e siecle et au course de la premiere moitie du 20e siecle elargit la capacite des etats et des autres institutions a prendre certains initiatives qui prolongaient l'esperance de vie. Ces initiatives comprenaient des mesures organisees contre certains organismes pathogeniques et des mesures d'emblee generales visant a ameliorer la sante par la transformation des microenvironments. Des innovations scientifiques, surtout en medecine, etaient une precondition necessaire mais insuffisante pour ces innovations; pour les realiser il a fallu aussi de la volonte politique aussi bien que les credits ou des titres-avoirs suffisant.
Parmi les questions posees par ces nouvelle capacites furent: les relations entre gouvernements centraux et locaux; l'equilibre entre l'hygiene publique et la medecine liberale; le role des organisations non-gouvernementales telles communautes religieuses, des agences volontaires, la famille aussi bien que celui des organisations internationales.
Nous sollicitons donc des presentations sur trois themes:
1) Relations entre divers niveaux de gouvernement (national, regional, local) dans l'approvisionnement des soins;
2) L'evolution du role de l'etat, de la medicine liberale et des soins non-monetises dans la sante; et
3) Le role des organisations internationales dans la formulation et realisation des politiques sanitaires.
Certains des ces sujets ont ete deja aborde aux reunions du
<Social Science History Association> americaine, et nous anticipons que des autres seront abordes aux futures reunions de cette organisation aussi bien que a ses homologues europeens et internationaux. Un comite organisateur est en formation qui sollicitera des presentations apres une reunion preliminaire. Ceux qui veulent des renseignements supplementaires peuvent s'adresser a Bruce Fetter a l'Universite de Wisconsin a Milwaukee.
<Mortality Reduction in the 19th and 20th Centuries: Techonology, Public Health Policies, and Funding>
In anticipation of the 19th International Congress of Historical Sciences to be held in Oslo in August, 2000, the Commission Internationale de Demographie Historique has approved the following topic (announcements of other topics are forthcoming), "Mortality Reduction in the 19th and 20th Centuries: Technology, Public Health Policies, and Funding." This is a preliminary call for papers of 20 to 30 pages to be selected for presentation early in 1999.
The acceleration of technological change during the 19th and early 20th centuries strengthened the ability of governments and other agencies to take initiatives which have prolonged human life. These include measures designed to combat particular pathogens and more general measures to improve health through transformation of microenvironments. Scientific developments, particularly in medicine, were a necessary but not a sufficient precondition for these changes; they also required political will and the money or entitlements necessary to implement them.
Among the questions raised by these new possibilities in health care were the relationship between national and regional governments, the balance between public provision and fee-for-service, the role of non-governmental organizations (religious, voluntary, and family), and that of international organizations.
We are therefore soliciting papers on three sub-topics:
1) Relations between national, regional, and local governments in the provision of health care;
2) The changing role of government provision, fee-for-service, and non-monetized services in health care; and
3) The role of international organizations in the establishment and implementation of health policies.
Some of these issues have already been discussed at panels of the U.S. Social Science History Association, and we anticipate that others will be discussed at future meetings of that organization, its European counterparts, and other international historical and demographic organizations. A planning committee is in formation and we will sollicit papers after a preliminary meeting. For further information, contact Bruce Fetter at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
