In a recent article, Gorik Ooms has drawn attention to the normative underpinnings of the politics of global health. We claim that Ooms is indirectly submitting to a liberal conception of politics by framing the politics of global health as a question of individual morality. Drawing on the theoretical works of Chantal Mouffe, we introduce a conflictual concept of the political as an alternative to Ooms' conception. Using controversies surrounding medical treatment of AIDS patients in developing countries as a case we underline the opportunity for political changes, through political articulation of an issue, and collective mobilization based on such an articulation.
在最近的一篇文章中，Gorik Ooms 引起了人们对全球健康政治的规范性基础的关注。我们声称，Ooms 通过将全球健康政治构成为个人道德问题，间接地接受了一种自由的政治观念。我们借鉴了 Chantal Mouffe 的理论著作，提出了一种冲突性的政治概念，作为对 Ooms 概念的替代。通过以发展中国家治疗艾滋病患者的医疗争议为例，我们强调了通过对问题进行政治表达以及基于这种表达的集体动员，实现政治变革的机会。
