Abstract
This book attempts to provide a wide-ranging tour de force for understanding the impacts of globalization on human health. The conceptual framework developed in Chapter 1, and applied in Chapters 3–5, is intended to structure more clearly what is oftentimes a rather fluid and ill-defined subject. It is around this framework that copious examples have been provided to illustrate the diversity and complexity of this emerging subject area. This is an introductory text to encourage interest in, and provoke debate about, an emerging field of research, policy and practice.
