Omschrijving
This title discusses how globalization impacts the health of individuals and populations. It focuses on how globalization processes have impacted various social determinants of health such as income, employment, or migration patterns, and how this in turn shapes inequities in health outcomes.
Many books address global health or social determinants of health, but none are quite like this one, which takes on globalization as determinant of the health determinants. It brings a fresh perspective using case studies to illustrate key points. It is a nice addition to a crowded market.
Rigorous, thorough, accessible, and a pleasure to read... must for students, researchers and practitioners newly engaging with critical global health and a welcome up-to-date synthesis for those of us who have been working, teaching, and advocating around globalization and health for years.
An insightful analysis that ranges widely across time and space, shining a light on the winners and losers in a globalizing world. Their call for a new social movement that can harness the forces of globalization for the common good is a challenge to us all.
In this tour de force, Labonté and Ruckert provide a comprehensive and critical view on major issues in globalisation such as trade and investment liberalization, labour migration, and neoliberalism. A must-read for all those working and studying global health.
Ronald Labonté is Distinguished Research Chair and former Canada Research Chair in Globalization and Health Equity and Professor in the School of Public Health and Epidemiology, University of Ottawa. He is active with the People's Health Movement, and has consulted extensively with UN agencies, governments and civil society organizations. Arne Ruckert is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Ottawa's School of Epidemiology and Public Health, working on health equity issues in the Globalization and Health Equity research unit. He has worked as a policy consultant for various development organizations (including the North-South Institute, CCIC, the Halifax Initiative), international organizations (WHO), and the Canadian government (Health Canada).
