Integrating newcomers and minorities into the social fabric of
receiving countries has become one of the crucial challenges of
contemporary Western societies. This volume seeks to understand
patterns of changing institutional practices and public policies
where the challenges of including cultural diversity into the
social fabric are most pronounced: namely the health care system.
In recent years, pro-migrant organizations and anti-racist
activists have repeatedly voiced and politicized demands to improve
migrants' access to the health-care system giving rise to a lively
debate about migrants' access to health-care and responsiveness of
institutions to their needs. In a nutshell the book achieves the
following: - Provides a conceptual framework to link patterns of
political advocacy/mobilization and processes of migrants'
socio-political inclusion - Integrates the (multi-disciplinary)
literature on political mobilization and accommodating cultural
diversity in an innovative fashion - Presents a comparative study
on accommodating diversity in the health care system from a
comparative transatlantic perspective - Generates insight into best
practices in the health care system that will be of interest to
scholars as well as practitioners in the field. The analysis of
health care provision offers an opportunity to test new public
policy strategies and the policy consequences of the now widespread
aspiration to include citizens more fully in designing and
implementing them.
