Isi artikel

Focused on the concept of risk, particularly its connotations in child survival research, this paper addresses its questionable conceptualization in terms of factors of obscure social origin, and implications thereof for compromised well-being among Arab children. Guided by methodological considerations which problematize the process of social generation of risk, the paper devotes special attention to child survival initiatives as implemented in Egypt. Finally, discussion centers on the ideological construction of scientific discourse.
