In this comment, I build on Shiffman's call for the global health community to more deeply investigate structural and productive power. I highlight two challenges we must grapple with as social scientists carrying out the types of investigation that Shiffman proposes: the politics of challenging the powerful; and the need to investigate types of expertise that have traditionally been thought of as 'outside' global health. In doing so, I argue that moving forward with the agenda Shiffman sets out requires social scientists interested in the global politics of health to be reflexive about our own exercise of structural and productive power and the fact that researching global health politics is itself a political undertaking.
在这条评论中，我进一步探讨了希夫曼呼吁全球卫生界更深入地研究结构性和生产性权力的观点。我强调了我们作为从事希夫曼所提议类型调查的社会科学家必须应对的两个挑战：挑战强权的政治；以及需要调查传统上被认为是“全球卫生之外”的专业知识类型。在这样做的过程中，我认为，要推进希夫曼提出的议程，就需要对健康全球政治感兴趣的社会科学家反思我们自身对结构性和生产性权力的运用，以及研究全球卫生政治本身就是一项政治事业这一事实。
