[email protected] lcohol is illegal in Kuwait and because of this, there is little to no discussion about alcoholism, Aits impact on the individual, the family or socie- ty. Yet alcoholism cuts across all social, nationality, economic and racial barriers. It can also be found in many homes in Kuwait and security forces regularly arrest smugglers or home brewers. Setting aside the illegality of the matter, however, the question of alco- holism is seldom addressed for several reasons. First, given that alcohol is illegal, it’s a closed subject. How can someone seek treatment for alcoholism when they are not supposed to be drinking in the first place? Many would fear legal action or criminal charges for possession or consumption.

Since the system was repealed in 2011 however, elections have more closely resembled those seen previously under military rule. This paper examines the most recent election, the controversial 2018 landslide victory for the Awami League. Based on a multi-site analysis, we examine how the victory was achieved, reviewing the candidate nomination process, campaigns and election day itself. The ruling party’s success lies in efficient party management, with factionalism kept in check, an appealing vision of a developed and ‘digital’ Bangladesh and, most fundamentally, widespread coercion of political opposition using the apparatus of the state. The election articulates two key characteristics of contemporary Bangladeshi politics: state coercion and developmentalist ambitions. Keywords: Bangladesh, elections, coercion, security agencies, development, candidates Maitrot, M. and Jackman, D. (2020) The 2018 Bangladeshi election. ESID Working Paper No. 132.

Yet, “innovation” is probably not what most people first think of when they try to describe public health services. “Old fashioned” maybe, but certainly not “innovative.” A New Paradigm At Tri-County Health Department, we like to: Think outside the box. Push the envelope. Shatter some stereotypes. Break some rules. Raise the bar. And all of the other overused clichés depicting innovation and creativity. But, in the process, we make it all seem as Easy as pie. Since we do not sell a product, our incentive for innovation is not profit-driven or based on competition to increase market share. It’s driven by one thing—finding new ways to improve the health of the population. Still, however pioneering they are, each of our innovations still follow the basic blueprint of public health: assess the major causes of death and disability, identify risk factors, find and apply effective solutions, then constantly evaluate and improve our programs even more. Milestones and Masterpieces In this annual report, we highlight the accomplishments of Tri-County Health Department along with numerous historic public health innovations—things as diverse as vaccinations, chlorine bleach, paper cups and the birth control pill.
