Conclusion -- Glossary -- Appendix. 330 $aThis book explores the development of mental health systems in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) of Samoa and Tonga through an examination of several policy transfer events from the colonial to the contemporary. Beginning in the 1990s, mental health became an area of global policy concern as reflected in concerted international organisation and bilateral aid and development agendas, most notably those of the World Bank, World Health Organization, and the governments of Australia and New Zealand. This book highlights how Tonga and Samoa both reformed their respective mental health systems during these years, after relatively long periods of stagnation. Using recent scholarship concerning public policy transfer, this book explains these policy outcomes and expands it to include consideration of the historical institutional dimensions evidenced by contemporary mental health systems. This book considers three distinct levels of policy implicated in mental health system transfer processes from developed to developing nations: colonial authority and influence; decolonisation processes; and the global development agenda surrounding health systems. In the process, the author argues that there are in fact three levels of policy change that must be accounted for in examining contemporary policy change. These policy levels include formal policy transfers, which tend to be prescriptive, involving professional problem construction and the designation of appropriate state apparatus for curative or custodial care provision; quasi-formal transfers, which tend to be aspirational and involve policy instruments developed through collaborative, participatory processes; and informal transfers that tend to be normative and include practices by professional actors in delivering service merged with traditional cultural beliefs as to disease aetiology as well as reflecting a deep understanding of the cultural context within which the services will be delivered. This book argues that a renewed focus on the importance of public policy and government institutional capacity is necessary to ensure human rights and justice are secured. . 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aLaw?Philosophy 606 $aLaw?History 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aConstitutional Law 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 0$aLaw?Philosophy. 615 0$aLaw?History. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aConstitutional Law. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aGlobalization. 676 $a026.3622102573 700 $aFadgen$b Timothy Philip$01740529 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863115003321 996 $aMental Health Public Policy in Global Context$94166244 997 $aUNINA
