>From a public health perspective, globalization appears to be a mixed
blessing. This international collection of essays on globalization and
health examines the global health issues associated with the economic,
technological, political, social, cultural and environmental effects of
globalization-the increasing movement of capital, people, technology,
goods, information, environmental pollution, and disease around the
globe. These essays analyze the complex linkages between globalization
and health, the health effects of globalization at all levels (global,
national, and local), and the policy and institutional responses
associated with the health consequences of globalization.
