We draw on two case studies on health set in Latin America throughout the 20th century to illustrate our argument. Starting from the premise that all knowledge is necessarily localized, we reflect conceptually and empirically on the regimes of authorization and legitimation of health knowledge, as well as the epistemological disputes that operate in international relations. Methodologically, we refer to the analysis guided by the frameworks of Critical Global Health\u2014which recognizes the limitations of health debates within the discipline of international relations\u2014as the \u201cdecentralization of global health.\u201d We therefore argue that the epistemic encounters occurring in postcolonial spaces impact the geopolitics of health knowledge, generating a hybrid conception that we call social biomedicine.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bricspolicycenter.org\/en\/publications\/new-publication-from-the-global-and-public-health-research-program-decentralizing-global-health-the-geopolitics-of-health-knowledge-from-a-latin-american-perspective-in-the-20th-ce\/\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"qbutton \" style=\"\">Link to the Publication <\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BRICS Policy Center\/PUC-Rio research program, Global and Collective Health, published an article titled\u00a0 &#8220;Decentralizing Global Health: The Geopolitics of Health Knowledge from a Latin American Perspective in the 20th&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":26959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[218,232],"tags":[765,768,1403],"class_list":["post-26960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-publications-en","tag-secao-06"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
