Abstract:
Diaspora communities are a growing source of external assistance and resources to meet unmet needs and to strengthen existing health systems in their home countries. Although a growing number of articles have been published in this realm, very few have looked at diaspora communities\' role and the place translocal communities give to health (care) in the various remittance dynamics, whilst including power relationships and environmental change. This article examines the motivations and practices through which Senegalese diasporas engage with the health system in their origin country and what barriers they face in their interventions. The results of the migration-environment-health nexus are critically discussed with a political ecology approach. We found that households and villages with a critical number of members abroad, and with strong political and/or international networks, are better off and less exposed to health risks in the face of adverse extreme climate impacts.
摘要:
散居国外的社区是越来越多的外部援助和资源来源,以满足未满足的需求并加强其本国的现有卫生系统。尽管在这个领域发表了越来越多的文章,很少有人关注侨民社区在各种汇款动态中的作用和跨地方社区给予健康(护理)的地方,同时包括权力关系和环境变化。本文研究了塞内加尔侨民参与其原籍国卫生系统的动机和做法,以及他们在干预措施中面临的障碍。通过政治生态学方法严格讨论了移民-环境-健康关系的结果。我们发现在国外有大量成员的家庭和村庄,拥有强大的政治和/或国际网络,面对不利的极端气候影响,他们的状况更好,面临的健康风险更少。
