The book 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.

The authors look into 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, they
argue 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.
