  • Healthy Cities: A Political Movement Which Empowered Local Governments to Put Health and Equity High on Their Agenda
    Integrating Human Health into Urban and Transport Planning, 2019
    Co-Authors: Agis D. Tsouros
    Abstract:

    The healthy cities Movement was launched at the peak of the new public health Movement in the eighties. It was very attractive to local Political leaders, it inspired a wide range of new actors and it spread very quickly. It became a thriving global Movement that caught the imagination of thousands of city leaders and professionals concerned with urban health and sustainable development. It is undoubtedly one of the longest running and most successful initiatives ever introduced by WHO. Healthy Cities as a project, embodied a number of key features that proved crucial in its success including a strong emphasis on values, Political commitment, partnership-based approaches, democratic governance, strategic thinking and networking. It combined the discipline of a well-defined project involving committed cities with mechanisms of inclusiveness and engagement of all interested cities. Healthy Cities in Europe thrived at the cutting edge of public health, continuously broadening and adapting its agenda to new knowledge, global and regional developments and emerging local needs. It has changed the way cities understand and deal with health. Healthy Cities represents a unique example of a long-term sustainable WHO initiative that forged strategic links with local governments. The evidence and experience accumulated in the past 27 years have demonstrated repeatedly that Healthy Cities works and it makes a difference. This chapter outlines some of the critical factors and preconditions that are required for developing successful Healthy Cities programmes. Healthy Cities is now more relevant than ever. Most global public health, social and environmental challenges as well as the implementation of the new sustainable development goals for the planet require local action and strong local leadership. The time is right for WHO across Regions and governments at all levels to use the potential of Healthy Cities to the full and strengthen its capacity and presence locally, nationally and internationally.

  • Between Interculturalism and Ethnocentrism: Local Government and the Indigenous Movement in Otavalo-Ecuador
    Bulletin of Latin American Research, 2010
    Co-Authors: Rickard Lalander
    Abstract:

    To what extent might an indigenous mayor govern beyond ethnically defined grievances, without being labelled traitor by the indigenous organisation? This article deals with the challenges faced by the Ecuadorian indigenous Movement when it attains power in local government. The issue will be explored through the case of Mario Conejo, who in 2000 became the first indigenous mayor of Otavalo representing the indigenous Political Movement Pachakutik. Although ethnically based tensions in the local indigenous Movement were evident throughout the period, 2006 saw Conejo leave Pachakutik and create a new Political Movement. This rupture can be traced, I argue, to an intercultural dilemma and the difficulties of ethnically defined Political Movements.

  • Between Interculturalism and Ethnocentrism Local Government and Indigenous Movement in Otavalo-Ecuador
    2009
    Co-Authors: Rickard Lalander
    Abstract:

    The canton of Otavalo in the Ecuadorian Sierra has been a stronghold and intellectual cradle of the Ecuadorian indigenous Movement. In the year 2000 Mario Conejo Maldonado, who represented the indigenous Political Movement Pachakutik, was elected as the first indigenous mayor of Otavalo. His administration has enjoyed recognition for its popular participation formula and intercultural project, integrating mestizos and indigenous citizens. In the context of local state reform challenges and the inclusion and recognition of indigenous citizens in the Ecuadorian state model this study approaches a local government led by an indigenous mayor with an intercultural banner. However, the project of ethnic integration in Otavalo has not evolved without complications and conflicts. Social and Political divisions in the indigenous population have been reflected since before Conejo was ever elected. Ethnically based tensions in the local indigenous Movement have been manifested throughout the period and in 2006 Conejo left Pachakutik and created a new Political Movement – Minga Intercultural-. The author argues that the rupture in the Otavalo indigenous Movement (and local government) can be traced to the intercultural dilemma and difficulties associated with an ethnically defined Political Movement. Similarly, aspects of the so called “Correa effect” on the indigenous Movement at the local level will be approached, since the Otavalo mayor has joined President Rafael Correa’s PAIS Movement before the local elections of 2009.

  • reconsidering nationalism and feminism the kurdish Political Movement in turkey
    Nations and Nationalism, 2018
    Co-Authors: Nadje Alali
    Abstract:

    Feminist scholars have documented with reference to multiple empirical contexts that feminist claims within nationalist Movements are often side‐lined, constructed as ‘inauthentic’ and frequently discredited for imitating supposedly western notions of gender‐based equality. Despite these historical precedents, some feminist scholars have pointed to the positive aspects of nationalist Movements, which frequently open up spaces for gender‐based claims. Our research is based on the recognition that we cannot discuss and evaluate the fraught relationship in the abstract but that we need to look at the specific historical and empirical contexts and articulations of nationalism and feminism. The specific case study we draw from is the relationship between the Kurdish women's Movement and the wider Kurdish Political Movement in Turkey. We are exploring the ways that the Kurdish Movement in Turkey has politicised Kurdish women's rights activists and examine how Kurdish women activists have reacted to patriarchal tendencies within the Kurdish Movement.
