Institutional analysis and collective health

In its recent history, collective health has become institutionalized in a double dimension, the theoretical-practical and the political-ideological. Institutional analysis, on the other hand, is an approach aimed at changing institutions on the basis of the practices and discourses of their subjects. For this reason, there is clear potential for more widespread use of institutional analysis in collective health in the areas of research, interventions, and the training of professionals. Collective health itself can also be analyzed as a complex and contradictory institution, since it in turn involves countless other institutions.
