This book analyzes the origins and rationale of family planning programs and how they have evolved based on experience in different country settings.
The striking upsurge in population growth rates in developing countries at the close of World War II gained force during the next decade. From the 1950s to the 1970s, scholars and advocacy groups publicized the trend and drew troubling conclusions about its economic and ecological implications. Private educational and philanthropic organizations, government, and international organizations joined in the struggle to reduce fertility. Three decades later this movement has seen changes beyond anyone's most optimistic dreams, and global demographic stabilization is expected in this century. The Global Family Planning Revolution preserves the remarkable record of this success. Its editors and authors offer more than a historical record. They disccuss important lessons for current and future initiatives of the international community. Some programs succeeded while others initially failed, and the analyses provide valuable guidance for emerging health-related policy objectives and responses to global challenges.
A history of the World Health Organization, covering major achievements in its seventy years while also highlighting the organization's internal tensions. This account by three leading historians of medicine examines how well the organization has pursued its aim of everyone, everywhere attaining the highest possible level of health.
Reviews the historical origins of contraception, analyzes current conflicts, and gives perspectives on the family planning movement

Family planning programs exist in virtually every nation. As of 1998, 179 countries with 99 percent of the world's population had some form of family planning program. Despite their pervasiveness, family planning programs have caused controversy and drawn criticism from a variety of perspectives, primarily for two reasons. First, they deal with a sensitive subject: birth control. Public discussion of the issue was taboo for many years and continues to evoke strong reactions from some quarters. Adding to this sensitivity, the emotionally charged debate over abortion has at times spilled over into the discussion of family planning. Second, concern about the negative effects of rapid population growth and high fertility in the developing world spawned a political advocacy movement that promoted particular public policies, family planning among them. While this movement enjoyed considerable support in both developing and donor nations, it also generated political opposition and raised questions among some social scientists and others. This report examines the origins and evolution of family planning programs in the context of the major criticisms and controversies surrounding them. It also explores how programs have responded to these criticisms and assesses the validity of these criticisms as reflected in the research literature. Although some of the criticisms are based on ideological perspectives that scientific research does little to illuminate, simply describing these perspectives should be useful.
