Migration is now firmly embedded as a leading global policy issue
of the twenty-first century. Whilst not a new phenomenon, it has
altered significantly in recent decades, with changing
demographics, geopolitics, conflict, climate change and patterns of
global development shaping new types of migration. Against this
evolving backdrop, this Handbook offers an authoritative overview
of key debates underpinning migration and health in a contemporary
global context. The first major handbook in this field, this
Handbook of Migration and Health provides a comprehensive global
overview of issues relating to migration and health. The Handbook
is organised into six main sections: theories and models of
migration; rights and deservingness; vulnerability and precarity;
specific healthcare needs and priorities; healthcare provision; and
transnational and diasporic networks. Chapters focus on a wide
range of migrant groups including refugees, asylum seekers,
trafficked people, international students, healthcare workers, and
diasporic communities. Bringing together the contributions of 58
leading researchers and drawing on case studies and examples from
across the globe, the Handbook is intended as a scholarly, yet
accessible reference tool for researchers, students, and
practitioners interested in the field of migration and health.
