Reviews

Nurse migration and mobility is both a personal decision based on individual circumstances, and a complex global policy issue. This book examines the complexities, gives new insights from Asia, and presents important messages for policy makers. -James Buchan, Adjunct Professor, Faculty Health, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia A rich analysis of gender, shortage, deskilling, inequality, discrimination and low morale among the migrant nursing workforce in Asian countries with compelling insights into the commercialisation of global health care and the power of agency to influence national and international policy and practice. -Pam Smith Professor Emerita, University of Edinburgh, UK Nurse migration is a genuinely global phenomenon whose dynamics play out differently across regional contexts. This edited volume provides welcome new insights into these dynamics in the Asian context - of where, and how, the 'global' meets the 'regional' and the 'national', and rich narratives of the multiple encounters between states and the array of non-state actors involved in 'producing', mobilising and relocating nurses across the globe. With pressures set to increase on global nursing workforces worldwide, this book provides a fascinating, timely and remarkable analysis of a major global phenomenon that is here to stay. -Nicola Yeates, Professor, Social policy, Open University, Milton Keynes, UK
