Converting Migration Drains Into Gains
Developing country governments and international donors are taking notice of diasporas' potential contributions to economic development. Attention has primarily focused on the impressive totals of economic remittances, whose global estimates now outpace official development assistance. Three case studies of diaspora knowledge exchange/transfer: Afghanistan, People's Republic of China and the Philippines provide empirical and anecdotal data relating to: (a) knowledge exchange/transfer; (b) its potential relationship to economic remittances; (c) diaspora motivations; and (d) home country policies and programs. The potential for diaspora knowledge exchange suggests greater opportunities for gain than may be currently recognized and realized.
World Development Report 2023
Migration is a development challenge. About 184 million people--2.3 percent of the world's population--live outside of their country of nationality. Almost half of them are in low- and middle-income countries. But what lies ahead? As the world struggles to cope with global economic imbalances, diverging demographic trends, and climate change, migration will become a necessity in the decades to come for countries at all levels of income. If managed well, migration can be a force for prosperity and can help achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. 'World Development Report 2023' proposes an innovative approach to maximize the development impacts of cross-border movements on b...
Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa
Recent political, social, and economic changes in Africa have provoked radical shifts in the landscape of health and healthcare. Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa captures the multiple dynamics of a globalized world and its impact on medicine, health, and the delivery of healthcare in Africa—and beyond. Essays by an international group of contributors take on intractable problems such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and insufficient access to healthcare, drugs, resources, hospitals, and technologies. The movements of people and resources described here expose the growing challenges of poverty and public health, but they also show how new opportunities have been created for transforming healthcare and promoting care and healing.

Cuba in a Global Context
Cuba in a Global Context examines the unlikely prominence of the island nation's geopolitical role. The contributors to this volume explore the myriad ways in which Cuba has not only maintained but often increased its reach and influence in Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. From the beginning, the Castro regime established a foreign policy that would legitimize the revolutionary government, if not in the eyes of the United States at least in the eyes of other global actors. The essays in this volume shed new light on Cuban diplomacy with communist China as well as with Western governments such as Great Britain and Canada. In recent years, Cubans have improved their lives in the face o...
Culture of Class
Following the mass arrival of European immigrants to Argentina in the early years of the twentieth century new forms of entertainment emerged including tango, films, radio and theater. While these forms of culture promoted ethnic integration they also produced a new kind of polarization that helped Juan Peron to build the mass movement that propelled him to power.

Luces y sombras de la reforma de la salud en Colombia
El aumento en la cobertura del aseguramiento, la disminución del gasto de bolsillo, el mayor acceso a una primera consulta en la población asegurada y la mayor consulta de sano, son logros importantes que han sido documentados por diferentes estudios, casi todos ellos realizados a partir de datos secundarios de las Encuestas de Calidad de Vida y de Demografía Salud. Sin embargo, varios de estos hallazgos han sido sobredimensionados por diferentes motivos. Cuando se tiene en cuenta el tamaño de los diferentes paquetes de servicios (POS) es necesario deflactar el aumento neto en el aseguramiento.
