This article seeks to facilitate greater engagement with the concept of power by serving as an entry point and guide to researchers and practitioners focused on health policy and systems in LMICs. Our focus is narrowly on the role of power in shaping health policy and systems functioning, rather than exploring power as a determinant of health outcomes (e.g. in the context of social position or macroeconomic structures). The article is divided into four sections. First, we provide a broad overview of the concept of power, in order to familiarize readers to major theorists, ideas and frameworks; this overview is intended to act as a high level summary for those unfamiliar with power research rather than a comprehensive review of the power theory and debates, which lie beyond the scope of this paper. Second, we describe our methodological approach in selecting 10 key resources. Third, we present 10 key resourcesframeworks, commentaries and peer-reviewed articlesthat exemplify thinking and research on power in health policy and systems in LMICs.summarize
