如何看待美援下的衛生？一個歷史書寫的反省與展望

How to Write a History of Public Health under U.S. Aid in Taiwan: A Critical Review

本文從美援衛生的定位出發，從書寫取徑與關心課題著手，整理並回顧相關的歷史論述。在成果方面，本文就美援衛生的資料狀況提出初步的觀察與檢討，並以疾病防治與治理邏輯為中心，分析現有研究的興趣與成果。最後呼應臺灣史研究的國際化趨勢，本文用戰後瘧疾防治為例，說明超越國家單位的國際書寫架構在衛生史的論述可能。

This paper offers an account on how to write a history of public health under U.S. aid in postwar Taiwan. Unlike conventional review articles, this paper first presents its arguments with an overview of related materials and approaches adopted in this interdisciplinary field, then followed by an intensive review of recent literature on the themes of disease control as well as health policy and governance. Taking the history of malaria and its eradication in Taiwan as an example, this paper demonstrates how a policy approach on the international level is apt for the historical investigation of this period.
