Abstract
In international health policy debates the problems experienced in
implementing new policies and interventions are generally seen as
resulting from the weak use of available evidence and the failure to hold
health workers accountable for their actions. Both of these causes are then
sometimes linked to the lack of political will to improve implementation.
This paper presents an alternative perspective that takes fuller account of
the ways in which the exercise of power shapes implementation
experiences.
