Reviews

‘This book addresses a major current topic and attempts to cover the trends, arguments and dilemmas. The author is eminently qualified to tackle such an exercise as he has a long history of migration and other research, especially in the Pacific region. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the major issues together with detailed analysis and debate. . . this book is a major achievement for its intellectual depth and the international coverage provided. I would recommend it for policy makers, scholars, researchers and postgraduate students. It fills a gap in a very important but neglected policy area.’
*Robyn Iredale, Journal of Population Research*

‘. . . the observations that John Connell makes about health systems worldwide in Migration and the Globalisation of Health Care are poignant and timely. He delivers a long-term prognosis for health systems throughout the world, and his findings should give us cause for alarm. Connell’s big-picture assessment of the status quo and his tried-and-tested recommendations for improving it deserve the attention of health policymakers and practitioners everywhere.’
