Health Impacts of Globalization brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers to analyze specific case studies that provide much needed empirical analysis of the impact of globalization on health. The range of issues covered—AIDS, tobacco control, BSE/CJD, nutrition, cholera, anti-microbial resistance, WTO, global governance—is intended to be illustrative, rather than representative, of the diverse health impacts of global change.

This review is from: Health Impacts of Globalization: Towards Global Governance (Hardcover)
As someone who has traveled around the world, I am interested in global issues, such as health care around the world. I read this book and found it interesting and informative. Though the title has a liberal tilt to it, the book is very impartial, and provides a lot of insight into how global forces and institutions affect the health and health care of various people around the world. It is well referenced, and easy to read. I recommend it.
