Switzerland and South Africa 1948-1994
While other states imposed economic sanctions on the apartheid regime of South Africa, Swiss authorities long adhered to the position that South Africa is a state like any other. Swiss big business corporations saw an attractive trade partner in South Africa; in part, they also profited from the boycotts of others. Additionally, some political forces sympathised openly with the regime in Pretoria. Encouraged by the debate concerning Swiss policy and activity during the Second World War, in 1997 the order was given to initiate a historical study of Swiss behaviour towards the apartheid regime.

Religion in Global Health and Development
The COVID-19 pandemic has made evident that the field of global health – its practices, norms, and failures – has the power to shape the lives of billions.

Walker surveys the establishment of colonial development projects in the twentieth century, ...

As Ghana's President Kwame Nkrumah embarked on a bold anti-imperialistic, pan-African policy, Britain and the United States concerted a common strategy which accelerated Nkrumah's eventual downfall in 1966 and brought Ghana back into the Western sphere of influence.

Médicaliser l'Afrique
Jusqu'à la fin des années 1880, la pratique de la médecine occidentale au Gabon a surtout lieu sur mer. Dès les années 1890, on assiste à un glissement de la médecine de la mer vers la terre ferme. Ainsi, pourquoi et comment passe-t-on d'un navire-hôpital sur mer à la case de santé à terre, de la case de santé aux ambulances-hôpitaux, puis aux centres hospitaliers universitaires ? Cet ouvrage reconstitue ce processus de médicalisation.
