This chapter describes the principles of grand strategy as applied to global health and public health. It analyzes President George W. Bush's program, called the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (known as PEPFAR). Developed largely in secret and placed outside the traditional USAID bureaucracy, the PEPFAR program pole vaulted the United States into a leadership role in global health. The chapter then highlights how the use of grand strategic principles resulted in a highly successful, if still limited, global health intervention. The Bush Administration articulated explicit goals, or ends, and connected those to the larger ecology of national interests related to demonstrating American morality, and protecting the United States from the threat of pandemic HIV/AIDS. However, PEPFAR as a strategy was incomplete. It failed to address critical root causes of the spread of HIV/AIDS—the social and economic conditions in which such pathogens emerge and spread.

Hiv Aids

In global health in general and the field of HIV/AIDS in particular, market failures have occurred because those most affected by diseases are often the least able to pay for treatment and prevention. Public private partnerships (PPPs), such as those developed through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, have been created to address this problem. One limitation of PPPs is their broad definition and thus, the inability to measure and compare outcomes across partnership types. Nevertheless, appropriately planned, well-measured and mutually beneficial PPPs have shown important results in both the betterment of health sector delivery and the fight against single diseases, such as HIV/AIDS globally.

New Research

Over the past two decades, a sociology of global health has emerged. While this new subfield takes up some themes and issues that are familiar to the discipline as a whole—among them organizations, social movements, and the social construction of illness—it has also posed new questions and opened new research pathways by formulating and testing theory in environments radically different from the United States. This work has forced sociologists to confront the ethnocentrism of research paradigms that are grounded in the American experience and to consider classical assumptions and constructs in fruitful new ways. Notable recent literature reviews have taken up the issue of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, comparative healthcare systems, and the sociology of development. However, this review is the first to outline the contours of a coherent sociology of global health. It addresses several questions: What issues are being taken up in this emergent subfield? What added value comes from turning scholarly attention beyond our borders? And what new research agendas lie on the horizon?

Armics arc instruments of national sovereignty and hâve historically fulfilled the major funclions of interna! social control, defense of national territory. and projection of force beyond national borders in support of national policy. While armed forces hâve frcqucntly been callcd upon lo exécute other kinds of operations, thèse thrcc funclions hâve provided a sensé of meaning to soldicrs regarding their mission. The mission was to préparé for. and if necessary to fight and win their counlrics’ wars. This rôle has been reinforced by historical accounts, by childrcn’s games, and by literary and visual media interprétations. In periods characterized by absence of internai threats. cxtcrnal cncmics, and justifications for force projection to protcct allies or national interests, soldiers hâve felt that they didn’t hâve a mission, and nations hâve questioned their need for standing military forces, and hâve frequently demobilized (The cycles of mobilization and demobilization in the United States are described in Scgal. 1989).

Prayer has been a subject of systematic research in the United States in the context of health. In Brazil, there have been frequent allusions to prayer in a variety of research in the health sciences, but it has appeared as only one of the findings. Based on theses, dissertations and articles, this text discusses Brazilian studies on prayer that have been produced in the Portuguese language in the social sciences, theology, psychology, and sciences of health. It starts with an overview of the studies on prayer followed by an analysis of them. The text concludes by pointing out some important issues that should be considered in future research on prayer and health, as well as some suggestions for developing research on prayer. [#]

Scientific Approach

Summary. The purpose of this article is to study the participation of Moszynski family in the social and cultural processes of Europe and the United States in the ХХ century. The methodological basis was chosen taking into account the objective and specificity of the object and subject of study. The basis is the system of methods of scientific of scientific knowledge: formal logic (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy, abstraction) in order to clarify the content of the studied issues; theoretical – for the analysis of scientific literature; method of system analysis – to generalize the features of the historiographical and memorial situation. Problem-chronological, empirical, comparative and source methods are also used. The scientific approach of the publication is the formulation of new provisions on the peculiarities of  the participation of Moshynski family in the social and cultural processes of Europe and the United States in the ХХ century. Conclusions. The Moshynsky family embodies the phenomenon of preserving the Ukrainian mentality and culture outside the homeland. Art studios became a nourishing source for the family members, the content and meaning of which was to combine modern art trends with traditional, folk, and Ukrainian ones. All members of the family demonstrated an example of a successful combination of the realization of artistic inspiration with public activities aimed at protecting the national interests of Ukrainians. Of great importance was the family’s experience in defending conservative, religious, and values. The phenomenon of the Moshynski family was already realized by contemporaries, who considered it as an ideal model for Ukrainian families in the diaspora. Prospects for further research are to expand the source base, recourse to oral sources, family archives.
