Why are activities organized as firms or markets or through alternative organizational solutions? When are shared resources overexploited?

How to strengthen both academic research and international policies by improving the connections between scholars and policymakers. Scholars, Policymakers, and International Affairs shows how to build mutually beneficial connections between the worlds of ideas and action, analysis and policy. Drawing on contributions from top international scholars with policy experience in the United States, Europe, Asia, Canada, and Latin America, as well as senior policymakers throughout the Americas, Abraham F. Lowenthal and Mariano E. Bertucci make the case that scholars can both strengthen their research and contribute to improved policies while protecting academia from the risks of active participation in the policy process. Many scholars believe that policymakers are more interested in processes and outcomes than in understanding causality. Many policymakers believe that scholars are absorbed in abstract and self-referential debates and that they are primarily interested in crafting theories (and impressing other scholars) rather than developing solutions to pressing policy issues. The contributors to this book confront this gap head-on. They do not deny the obstacles to fruitful interaction between scholars and policymakers, but, drawing on their own experience, discuss how these obstacles can be and have been overcome. They present case studies that illustrate how scholars have helped reduce income inequality, promote democratic governance, improve gender equity, target international financial sanctions, manage the Mexico–U.S. border, and enhance inter-American cooperation. These success stories are balanced by studies on why academic analysts have failed to achieve much positive impact on counternarcotics and citizen security policies. The editors’ astute conclusion identifies best practices and provides concrete recommendations to government agencies, international institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and funding sources, as well as to senior university officials, academic departments and centers, think tanks, established scholars, junior faculty, and graduate students. Clearly written and thoughtfully organized, this innovative book provides analytic insights and practical wisdom for those who want to understand how to build more effective connections between the worlds of thought and action.

During an interval of 15 years, the Lucille P. Markey Charitable Trust spent over $500 million on four programs in the basic biomedical sciences that support the education and research of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty, and senior researchers. The Markey Trust asked the NRC to evaluate these programs with two questions in mind: "Were these funds well spent?" and "What can others in the biomedical and philanthropic communities learn from the programs of the Markey Trust, both as an approach to funding biomedical research and as a model of philanthropy?" One of five resulting reports, this volume contains the proceedings of a workshop held in June 2005 to investigate methods used to evaluate funding of the biomedical scientists by philanthropic and public funders. In addition to the Markey Trust, representatives from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the American Heart Association, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and six other funders of biomedical scientists presented information on evaluation methodologies and outcomes.

Trauma at the Border is a true story of resilience in the face of devastating pain, a journey of fear, faith, hope, and love in the midst of unforeseen obstacles. When they were told nothing, more could be done for her husband's stage 4 brain cancer, Bernadette refused to accept that. Going beyond conventional medicine to treat her husband, she sought and found alternative treatments in Tijuana, Mexico. This book not only details the search and determination to find answers to incorporate both conventional and alternative cancer treatments, but also tells an unimaginable story of corruption, drug trafficking, strength, and, ultimately, peace. Bernadette never dreamed of or was prepared for the "What ifs." What she did learn along this road is that while fear is the absence of hope, hope is the presence of love.

The world may be getting smaller every day, but until very recently health care remained local. 'Patients with Passports' is the first comprehensive legal and ethical analysis of one part of the globalization of health care: medical tourism. The author examines the two sides of the industry: medical tourism for services legal in the patient's home country where patients travel to places such as India, Thailand and Mexico to reduce costs, avoid queues, or qualify for insurance incentives, and medical tourism for services illegal in the home country.
