Recenzii
'This volume provides an overview of current theoretical frameworks and research trends in the expanding field of global health. Its clever, multidisciplinary approach and thought-provoking selection of topics will give novice researchers a comprehensive introduction to contemporary debates in the field and stimulate growth in new areas of research... Recommended.' Choice 'Faced with what is now a vast literature labelled as "global health", readers can use this volume to gain a direct route into the core health issues lying at the heart of a globalizing world.' Kelley Lee, Simon Fraser University, Canada and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK ’Global health has undergone a renaissance in political interest and a crisis in the politics of providing health for all. This book’s refreshing insight and depth helps us understand this conundrum and crucially offers ideas for how to move forward. The book is both an excellent research companion and provoker of new ideas and research agendas making it an essential read for anyone interested in global health.’ Sophie Harman, City University London, UK ’This outstanding collection dissects the social production of public health discourse, showing how dominant frameworks and strategies make power invisible. Contributors include social scientists breaking new ground in evidence-based interdisciplinarity and key players in global policy-making: - an essential teaching resource for students and staff.’ Eileen O’Keefe, London Metropolitan University, UK 'An array of researchers, notable for their contributions to the field, has produced a work that can be read in its entirety or used as a ’companion’ reference for particular topics ... the Research Companion is a valuable contribution to the literature and is an authoritative reference for researchers and students of one of the great contemporary phenomena of the age: the globalisation of health.' Australian Journal of Primary Health
