• Government Failure

  • Government failure occurs when possible interventions are not analyzed before action is taken regarding market inadequacies.

• The Cold War

  • The U.S.' s history of Latin American intervention goes back to the time of Andrew Jackson in Florida, when it still belonged to Spain.
  • Thus, these changes conflicted with the Good Neighbor Policy's fundamental principle of non-intervention and resulted in a new wave of American interference into Latin American affairs.
  • American interventions during this period included the usurping of the socialist regime in Chile, the overthrow of socialist president Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala and the radical Sandinista government of Nicaragua.

• China and the Bomb

  • In the absence of a dissenting voice from the Soviet Union, who could have vetoed it, the United States and other countries passed a security council resolution authorizing military intervention in Korea.
  • China's intervention in the Korean conflict increased tensions between China and the US.
  • First, China's intervention in the Korean conflict stirred up tensions between China and the U.S. over recognition of Taiwan's sovereignty, which remains a point of contention between the two countries.
  • Second, Chinese intervention in the Korean War prolonged a conflict many Americans initially believed would be short-lived and led to polarizing debates over the strategies and aims of American intervention in the Far East theater of the Cold War.

  • American interventions during this period included the usurping of the socialist regime in Chile, the overthrow of socialist president Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala and the radical Sandinista government of Nicaragua.

• World Health Trends

  • Global health interventions are needed when individual interventions will not control the spread of a disease — for example, even if one person's Type II Diabetes is managed, that will not impact the general consumption of unhealthy foods in a developed country.
  • Thus, health interventions must likewise address not just diseases themselves, but the structural factors which prevent certain groups from accessing adequate healthcare or from having adequate information with which to practice healthy habits and prevent disease.
  • These interventions could include addressing issues of structural inequality, that is, the highly unequal distribution of global wealth that results in conditions of extreme poverty which are difficult if not impossible to escape.
  • Finally, health interventions could advance by considering the relationship of national and international politics to the establishment of adequate education and healthcare systems.
  • Explain why health interventions must not just address diseases but also structural factors
