Abstract

This article addresses anthropology's engagement with the emerging discipline of global health. We develop a definition for global health and then present four principal contributions of anthropology to global health: () ethnographic studies of health inequities in political and economic contexts; () analysis of the impact on local worlds of the assemblages of science and technology that circulate globally; () interrogation, analysis, and critique of international health programs and policies; and () analysis of the health consequences of the reconfiguration of the social relations of international health development.
