Summary This book treats policy as an ethnographic object. Its ten chapters examine global policies for improving maternal and reproductive health, tracking the processes and politics of their making, the mechanisms of their implementation in diverse contexts, and people's intimate encounters with their consequences and effects. Doing so is timely since there is a growing appreciation that the success of health policies and interventions hinges on issues that are at the core of medical anthropological inquiry: the complexities of program implementation, the impact of socio-political contexts, and issues of local agency, equity and accessibility.
