		"....This article is the third in a three-part review of 
research on globalization and the social determinants of health (SDH). In the 
first article of the series, we identified and defended an economically 
oriented definition of globalization and addressed a number of important 
conceptual and metholodogical issues. In the second article, we identified and 
described seven key clusters of pathways relevant to globalization's influence 
on SDH. 

		This discussion provided the basis for the premise from which 
we begin this article: interventions to reduce health inequities by way of SDH 
are inextricably linked with social protection, economic management and 
development strategy. 

		Reflecting this insight, and against the background of the 
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), we focus on the asymmetrical distribution 
of gains, losses and power that is characteristic of globalization in its 
current form and identify a number of areas for innovation on the part of the 
international community: making more resources available for health systems, 
as part of the more general task of expanding and improving development 
assistance; expanding debt relief and taking poverty reduction more seriously; 
reforming the international trade regime; considering the implications of 
health as a human right; and protecting the policy space available to national 
governments to address social determinants of health, notably with respect to 
the hypermobility of financial capital. We conclude by suggesting that 
responses to globalization's effects on social determinants of health can be 
classified with reference to two contrasting visions of the future, reflecting 
quite distinct values...."
