{"product_id":"health-equity-in-a-globalizing-ronald-labont-9780198835356","title":"Health Equity in a Globalizing Era: Past Challenges, Future Prospects","description":"Why do some countries and populations suffer from poverty and ill health, whilst others are more prosperous and healthy? What are the inherently global (trans-border) issues that affect inequities in disease burden and health opportunities for individuals and nations? Traditionally, the focus of global health has been 'international health': the concern for high burdens of disease in generally low-income countries. To answer these questions however, we need to modernise our understanding of globalization as a phenomenon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eHealth Equity in a Globalizing Era: Past Challenges, Future Prospects\u003c\/em\u003e examines how globalization processes since the on-set of neoliberalism affect equity in global health outcomes, and emphasises access to important social determinants of health. With a basis in political economy, the book covers key globalization concepts and theory, and presents a thorough background to the field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCase studies, illustrations, and new research all combine to make this title a comprehensive and current discussion of the various pathways that connect globalization to health equity outcomes. It looks at changes in migration, labour markets, trade and investment rules, international development assistance, health systems, infectious and non-communicable disease risks, environmental health, and gendered aspects of globalization's health dialectic. In addition, it argues for a reform of the global governance structure, the significant role of human rights, and the importance of a strong civil society in achieving greater social justice in health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIdeal for senior undergraduate and graduate students in global health programs, global health scholars and practitioners in government policy and health\/development NGOs, \u003cem\u003eHealth Equity in a Globalizing Era: Past Challenges, Future Prospects\u003c\/em\u003e is a significant contribution to our new understanding of globalization and global public health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Labonté, Arne Ruckert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198835353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198835356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Ronald Labonté","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43914250846463,"sku":"9780198835356","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b42d216f-3471-4967-89c1-62f3404b8ffe.jpg?v=1680641215","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/health-equity-in-a-globalizing-ronald-labont-9780198835356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
