What can Social Anthropology contribute to the field of Medical Anthropology?...Rielo Institute for Integral Development
When the cold war was over at the end of １９８０ｔｈ, we expected that the 21st century would be peaceful, progressive, and politically stable. On the contrary, the strong consciousness of ETHNICITY was dramatically emerged in eastern European ethnic groups that were controlled by the old Soviet Union. The worse situation was the case of old Yugoslavia where were divided into three parts with arms. As we know, that war was the terrible genocide as we know.
What is “ Medical Anthropology?
Health and Sickness could be defined as the dynamic studies. Because, the concept of the sickness and health is depended on the indigenous values. It means “dynamics”.
2. Biomedicine and cultural( behavial sciences can be understood reciprocally.
Cultural Diagnosis.
The fact that the past scientific research and analysis gather so many different specialists needs to be stress. No profession can get alone the right perspective to comprehend the destructiveness of violence, we need different points of view to fight against it and hopefully to transfer this knowledge to the policy making body. It is my hope that our policy makers and society will begin to realize the importance of the anthropological aspects which I am going to discuss in this short paper.
Now, I would like to take this opportunity to share the role of Anthropology in this issue with policy makers and anthropologists but, let me first show about the role of anthropology in the process of development and its connection with violence. I believe that the anthropological theory should apply to the practical field. Another word, I would say that anthropologists must put on two hats (theoretical and practical).

ROLLING BACK THE ROLLBACK
- Spaces & strategies for reviving democracy and open societies in Europe –
Date: Monday, April 7, 2014
Time: 8:45 AM – 6 PM
Venue: CEU, Budapest, Nador 9, Faculty Tower, Auditorium
Recent events and developments in a number of European countries give rise to serious concerns about the stability of democracy in parts of the continent. Constitutional and other legal changes, a cut-down on freedom of the press as well as the freedom of association, challenges to the independence of the judiciary, xenophobia, anti-EU attitudes, low voter turnout, erosion of trust in government, and corruption -- all pose growing challenges to the prospects of open societies in Europe. These trends are addressed in a series of events organized by the School of Public Policy at CEU in cooperation with the Hertie School of Governance.
Based on a prior analysis of anti-democratic trends in Europe, the “Rolling Back The Rollback” Forum will examine possible responses to the rollback of democracy and open societies. How can some of the anti-democratic processes be reversed and how can further erosion of the foundations of open societies be prevented?
The morning panels will analyze drivers and dimensions of democratic rollback and the role and credibility of the EU as a guardian of democracy. Featured speakers include Franziska Brantner, Heather Grabbe, Bela Greskovits, Andras Jakab, Kati Marton, Jan Werner Mueller, Kim Lane Scheppele and G. M. Tamás.
The afternoon program will break away from conventional conference format and provide interactive forum space for young actors to discuss and debate novel approaches, spaces and strategies for ‘rolling back the rollback’, with, among others, a special focus on opportunities and limitations of new digital forms of mobilization and participation.
The forum will lay the foundations for policy formulation and dissemination. Its interdisciplinary approach and policy focus will result in recommendations on potential strategies for governments, local and international civil society and EU institutions.

Government Business Relations
Chapter 11

Up till now, we have completed the first portion of class, which we focused on economic development policies and practices in domestic context. We examined the tensions between government business relations in the following dimensions:
market vs. government (how much role should government play in economic development)
public interest vs. private interest (how to balance the pubic and private interests in economic development)
Starting from today, we are going to the second half of the class, focusing on economic development policies in the international context. The tensions between government and business relations are examined in the following perspectives:
neoliberalism vs. protectionism (how extensive should government policies be promoting free trade and protecting domestic industries)
national interest vs. global responsibility (as a player in the global arena, how to balance the national interest and its global responsibility)
What’s left…
Globalization
Neoliberalism and Protectionism
North American trade agreements (examples of regional trade agreements) –NAFTA – North American Free Trade Agreement
Free Trade vs. Fair Trade –
European Union (regional economy and political integration) –
IFO: International Finance Institutions –
In the second half of the class, we will shift to analyze the international trading regimes and government’s role in managing them. Here are the topics as listed in your syllabus.
NAFTA – Mexico, Canada, and United States
CAFTA – Expansion of NAFTA – includes Central American countries of
1. Costa Rica
2. El Salvador
3. Guatemala
4. Honduras
5. Nicaragua
In 2004, Dominican Republic was added and the agreement was renamed CAFTA –DR
The free trade area of the Americas is an expansion to the NAFTA. Representatives from all countries in North, South, and Latin America, as well as the Caribbean are involved. The only country not represented is CUBA.

When you think of globalization, do you think of it in positive terms or negative terms?
Globalization
Globalization is an umbrella term
It is the free movement of goods, services, and people across the world in a seamless and integrated manner
Things to consider…
Most regions are self sufficient – locally produced foods, fuels and raw materials are generally processed for local consumption.
Even though trade has been around for centuries (silk traders), trade between regions was limited.
Today, economies of most countries are interconnected creating a single, interdependent global economy.
The term globalization includes change through the spread of ideas, information and perceptions which lead to cultural and social changes.
