The author suggests that the growing economic surpluses generated by financial speculation and world trade should be reinvested in the human development of the less fortunate. This concern for and attention to the human and social effects of globalization is growing. The United Nations has just published its Human Development Report 1999, which also addresses the positive and negative effects of globalization, and many other international health & development organizations have focused their efforts on understanding and influencing this phenomenon for social benefit. Without a doubt, “globalization” has become the leitmotiv of our times. In this new world of dramatic polarization in the distribution of wealth and opportunities, the poorest 20% of humankind benefits from less than the 1% of the wealth, trade, and direct external investment, while the richest 20% of the global population takes 86% of the global economic product. In terms of access to and use of the information and communications media, the growing disparity is even more flagrant: the poorest sector utilizes just 1.5% of telephone lines and constitutes only 1 Jeffrey Sachs, “Helping the Poorest”, The Economist. 14 August 1999. Galveston.qxd 4/19/00 12:29 PM Page viii viii HEALTH & HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEW GLOBAL ECONOMY 0.2% of Internet traffic. It is estimated that half of the inhabitants of our planet have never received a telephone call, an indication of just how far we are from creating a equitable a world society that provides fair opportunities for all.2 So where will all this disparity and polarization lead? Some of the foremost ideologues of the New World Order, such as George Soros, Paul Krugman, and Jeffrey Sachs, have anxiously called on those in government to establish new regulatory structures for the market, with a view to reducing economic and social instability in the most vulnerable countries. It is apparent that failing to protect populations at risk for the negative effects of globalization on a worldwide scale is indefensible, as ever-growing numbers of human beings become marginalized from the global economy. The course that we chart for the new century, then, will depend on our ability to find new and just modalities of governance at the national and global levels. Shaping the specific process of globalization is a core priority for the Strategic and Programmatic Orientation of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in health and human development. Accordingly, PAHO’s Division of Health and Human Development, together with support from the University of Texas Medical Branch-WHO Collaborating Center for International Health (UTMB), is interested in disclosing and publicizing the presentations of experts made at the meeting “Health and Human Development in the New Global Economy: Experiences, Opportunities, and Risks in the Americas,” held in Galveston from 26-28 October 1998. The objective of this forum was to examine the impact of the economic globalization process and technological change on health trends in the Region of the Americas. More specifically,the meeting sought to explore how civil society groups can influence the formulation of healthy public policies and monitor equity, in terms of both the health situation and the distribution of health care resources. One of the recommendations that emerged from the meeting was to establish mechanisms within the context of Panamericanism that will facilitate the continuity of a broad partnership between state and non-state actors to promote the adoption of healthy public policies in every country in the Americas, expressed through the “Galveston Declaration,” included in this publication. PAHO hopes that this publication will be of use to decision-makers, experts in the field of health and development, and emerging civil society groups in the Latin American and Caribbean countries, and will help them to better address the enormous risks facing the different sectors of society as a result of globalization and to take advantage of the tremendous potential this process affords, creating a solid foundation for investing in health.

  • Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, Updated 2010
    RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES IN HEALTH CARE, UPDATED 2010 American College of Physicians A Position Paper 2010 Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care A Summary of a Position Paper Approved by the ACP Board of Regents, April 2010 What Are the Sources of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care? The Institute of Medicine defines disparities as “racial or ethnic differences in the quality of health care that are not due to access-related factors or clinical needs, preferences, and appropriateness of intervention.” Racial and ethnic minorities tend to receive poorer quality care compared with nonminorities, even when access-related factors, such as insurance status and income, are controlled. The sources of racial and ethnic health care disparities include differences in geography, lack of access to adequate health coverage, communication difficulties between patient and provider, cultural barriers, provider stereotyping, and lack of access to providers. In addition, disparities in the health care system contribute to the overall disparities in health status that affect racial and ethnic minorities. Why is it Important to Correct These Disparities? The problem of racial and ethnic health care disparities is highlighted in various statistics: • Minorities have less access to health care than whites. The level of uninsurance for Hispanics is 34% compared with 13% among whites. • Native Americans and Native Alaskans more often lack prenatal care in the first trimester. • Nationally, minority women are more likely to avoid a doctor’s visit due to cost. • Racial and ethnic minority Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with dementia are 30% less likely than whites to use antidementia medications.

  • The Contemporary Crisis in Globalization and Its Impact on Latin America with Special Reference to the Caribbean Region of Latin America
    The Contemporary Crisis in Globalization and its impact on Latin America with special reference to the Caribbean region of Latin America Jessica Byron Introduction This contribution evolved out of a panel discussion that was organized around a series of questions concerning the development and evolu- tion of globalization since the 1990s; the potential consequences of the current political crises for the future of globalization processes; and the major implications and lessons on the way forward for Latin American and Caribbean economies and societies. The following sections first make reference to major features of globalization and to the earlier discourse on its implications, which remain relevant to our analyses of the contemporary tendencies. Thereafter, I discuss the consequences of these new developments for countries and regions in the South. The final section examines the outlook specifically for small, developing economies in the Greater Caribbean sub-region of Latin America and the Caribbean. I. The development and evolution of globalization since the 1990s The discussion draws from three definitions and observations about globalization. Mittelman (1997:3) describes it as “a worldwide phenomenon […] a coalescence of varied transnational processes and domestic structures, allowing the economy, politics, culture and ideology of one country to penetrate another. The chain of causality runs from the spatial reorganization of production to inter- national trade, to the integration of production and to the integration of financial markets […] driven by changing modes of competition, 97 The Contemporary Crisis in Globalization and its impact on Latin America with special reference to the Caribbean region of Latin America globalization compresses the time and space aspects of social relations […] (it is) a market-induced, not policy-led process”.
