In this episode of the Global Health Politics Podcast, I sit down with Brown University political scientist Prerna Singh to discuss her latest book project, Moral Vaccination: How Ideas and Institutions Controlled Contagion in China and India. Our wide-ranging conversation explores how states generate compliance with public health interventions, grounded in a comparison of India and China's efforts to eradicate smallpox. Her important work suggests the need to incorporate a broader understanding of human motivations that goes beyond economic rationality, drawing on insights from a range of academic disciplines. Dr. Singh is past President of the Comparative Politics Section of the American Political Science Association.
