“…The aim of our analysis is to contribute to critical NPM and governance studies by moving the debates over the responsibility of the health professions (Greer 2017, Leicht 2017, McKee 2017, Speed and Mannion 2017 further and deepen our understanding of the contexts and governance settings that may be used by right-wing populist leaders to advance their agendas. So, the key question is: do populist agendas grow up in the shadow of NPM policies and does this alter the position of the medical profession as an important stakeholder in the institutional settings?…”

Recent debates on the rise of right‐wing or neoliberal populism globally have prompted public health and health systems researchers to explore its implications in the healthcare systems. This case study of Turkey's recent health reform initiative, the Health Transformation Program, aims to contribute to this debate by examining the nexus among populism, professionalism and the contemporary market and managerial reforms, often described as New Public Management (NPM). Building on document analysis and secondary sources, this article introduces a framework to explore whether and how populist agendas grow up in the shadow of NPM policies. We aim to deepen our understanding of the governance settings that might be used in different ways by right‐wing populist leaders to advance their agendas. Our research reveals that the NPM reforms in Turkey have opened a ‘backdoor’ through which right‐wing populist agendas were supported and the position of the medical profession as an important stakeholder in the institutional settings was weakened. However, what mattered most in the reform process was not the policies themselves but the ways new managerialist policies were implemented. Our analysis makes blind spots of the NPM reforms and healthcare governance research visible and calls for greater attention to implementation processes.

This paper discusses complexities of the Internet as an information space and outlines information behavior patterns of users that are often inadequate. On this basis, game-based approaches to foster information literacy are briefly discussed. This provides the wider frame for an exploratory case study in which the effectiveness and acceptance of game-based elements are investigated. In the case study, a small-scale learning module was created. The goal of the learning module was to sensitize learners with respect to their handling of news and to foster their ability to apply critical thinking skills when evaluating information. The learning module was framed with pre-and post-learning surveys. In these surveys, learners' information literacy skills were compared and their estimation of specific instructional instruments was collected. Two designs of the learning module were compared, a design that included game-based elements and a design without game-based elements. Results of the case study are of exploratory value. They indicate, that gamification may be worthwhile because it promotes the transfer of acquired knowledge into real-life behavior. Maybe there is a price to pay. Because of gamification, learners may be more likeable to drop out of the learning scenario.Index Terms-Information literacy, game-based learning, case study.

“…With global politics becoming more hostile and guarded, and a seeming carte blanche acceptance of advanced neoliberalism in Western industrialised nations, there has been a growing sense of precarity and uncertainty in the role of public institutions in people's lives (Hall et al, 2013). Many of the values of solidarity and tolerance that for a time seemed more guaranteed in Anglo--American countries have also been eroded, prompting some to decry the dissolution of liberal governance (Speed and Mannion, 2017). Ideologically--driven decisions to pursue austerity have transformed the landscape of public institutions over the last decade with a ferocious agenda of public sector cuts, particularly across Western Europe, prompting accounts of a post--welfare crisis (DeVerteuil, 2015;Power and Hall, 2018).…”

‘Hopeful adaptation’ in health geographies: Seeking health and wellbeing in times of adversity

Living with adversity can create wide-ranging challenges for people's health and wellbeing. This adversity may arise through personal embodied difference (e.g. acquiring a brain injury or losing mobility in older age) as well as wider structural relations that shape a person's capacity to adapt. A number of dichotomies have dominated our understanding of how people engage with health and wellbeing practices in their lives, from classifying behaviours as harmful/health-enabling, to understanding the self as being defined before/after illness. This paper critically interrogates a number of these dichotomies and proposes the concept of 'hopeful adaptation' to understand the myriad, often non-linear ways that people seek and find health and wellbeing in spite of adversity. We highlight the transformative potential in these adaptive practices, rather than solely focusing on how people persist and absorb adversity. The paper outlines an agenda for a health geography of hopeful adaptation, introducing a collection of papers that examine varied forms of adaptation in people's everyday struggles to find health and wellbeing whilst living with and challenging adversity.
