Description
Springer Health Policy and Systems Responses to Forced Migration 1st Editon 2020 Hardbound by Kayvan Bozorgmehr, Bayard Roberts, Oliver Razum, Louise Biddle
Forced migration has yet to be sufficiently addressed from the perspective of health policy and systems research, resulting in limited knowledge on system‐level interventions and policies to improve the health of forced migrants. The contributions within this edited volume seek to rectify this gap in the literature by compiling the existing knowledge on health systems and health policy responses to forced migration with a focus on asylum seekers, refugees, and internally displaced people. It also brings together the work of research communities from the fields of political science, epidemiology, health sciences, economics, psychology, and sociology to push the knowledge frontier of health research in the area of forced migration towards health policy and systems-level interventions, while also framing potential routes for further research in this area.Among the analyses within the chapters:The political economy of health and forced migration in EuropeInnovative humanitarian health financing for refugeesUnderstanding the resilience of health systemsHealth security in the context of forced migrationDiscrimination as a health systems response to forced migrationHealth Policy and Systems Responses to Forced Migration offers unique and interdisciplinary theoretical, empirical, and literature-based perspectives that apply a health policy and systems approach to health and healthcare challenges among forced migrants. It will find an engaged audience among policy makers and analysts, international organizations, scholars in academia, think tanks, and students in undergraduate programs or at the graduate level, for policy, practice, and educational purposes.
