在第二次世界大战期间，墨西哥和美国的卫生专业人员和组织建立了一个过渡性的组织领域来管理边境的公共卫生问题。尽管存在组织间合作的障碍，包括不同的行政结构和南北分层，但该领域在边境采取的跨国保健办法已经持续了60年。本文使用档案数据来跟踪组织数量和类型的变化，认为在北美自由贸易协会（NAFTA）的十年中，从组织松散的专业人员时代到专门的官僚时代，被领域从业者称为“边境卫生”的重新配置。这一变化给边境卫生带来了新的活力，跨国关系不断增加，多样化，但并没有削弱根深蒂固的跨境不平等。美墨边境卫生领域的组织历史展示了宏观政治和组织间分层如何塑造跨国公共卫生问题。(c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
During World War 11 Mexican and US health professionals and organizations constructed a transtiational organizational field to manage the border's public health problems. Despite barriers to inter-organizational cooperation, including disparate administrative structures and North-South stratification, the field's transnational approach to health on the border has continued for 60 years. Using archival data to track changes in the number and types of organizations, this article argues that the field practitioners call "border health" reconfigured during the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA) decade from an era of loosely organized professionals to a specialized bureaucracies era. This change brought new vitality to border health, with transnational ties increasing and diversifying, but has not weakened entrenched cross-border inequalities. The organizational history of the US-Mexico border health field demonstrates how macro-politics and inter-organizational stratification shape transnational public health problems.
