John Connell, Professor of Human Geography, University of Sydney, Australia
‘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.’
*Rick Docksai, World Future Review*
