Disease Knows No Borders: The Emergence and Institutionalization of Public Health Transnationalism on the US-Mexico Border
This historical sociological case study examines the emergence and institutionalization of public health transnationalism on the US-Mexico border in the 1940s, shedding light on actors, mechanisms, and processes that preceded the enactment of the World Health Organization. Though the United States instigated the border's first cross-border public health project and provided financing and professional leadership, cooperation took root through transboundary brokerage and associational activities. The Pan American Sanitary Bureau brokered networks and the US-Mexico Border Public Health Association constructed a sense of community, creating a durable, though unequal, arena for public health cooperation still active today.
