GLOBALIZATION AND THE DECLINE
OF SOCIAL REFORM
Into the Twenty-first Century
by Gary Teeple, Simon Fraser University
>From reviews of the first edition published in 1995;
"...argued with impressive cogency and authority...
extraordinarily well documented." - Peter Eglin, Canadian Public Policy.
"clear of jargon.. an admirable essay of social criticism."- Choice,
Journal of the American Library Association.
"an excellent and extremely useful study written in a
clear, sophisticated and extremely readable style."
- Canadian Journal of Political Science.
GLOBALIZATION AND THE DECLINE OF SOCIAL REFORM was first
published in 1995, and in ensuing years has been in use
in use at classes in every university in Canada, and many in
the United States and overseas. The book went through four printings
and rapidly established itself as an academic best-seller.
In this revised and updated edition, Gary Teeple continues his
searching examination of the undermining of the conditions that
had previously underpinned social democracy, but this time explore
in more depth the historical background that led up to the
neo-liberal agenda. In addition to examining contemporary critiques of
globalization theory, he also expands more fully on the potential for
progressive social change in the context of the continued expansion of
globalized capital. The author is Professor of Sociology at Simon Fraser
University, Burnaby, British Columbia.

"HEAL THYSELF"
Managing Health Care Reform
Pat Armstrong, Hugh Armstrong, Ivy Lynn Bourgeault,
Eric Mykhalovskiy and Jerry P. White
There is much talk about reforming health care to save health care, an
issue that cannot be assessed in isolation from global forces in general.
Health care reform is not a new phenomenon, but current reforms constitute
a fundamental change in health care provision. Throughout the western
world, the focus is now away from access to cost containment. This
preoccupation with rising expenditures has given rise to market-based
strategies, opening space for profit-making. The for-profit sector has
become a model for health-care management, but there has been little
research demonstrating that management practices developed mainly with
goods and services in mind will be either efficient or effective in the
delivery of health care. "Heal Thyself" assesses the new ways of managing
health care, focusing on the major claims such made by health care
management in both the profit and non-profit sectors.

MEDICINE, NURSING AND THE STATE
David Coburn, Susan Rappolt, (Univ. of Toronto) Ivy Lyn Borgeault
and Jan Angus(Univ. of Western Ontario)
This book locates the shifting inter-relationships of the Health System and
the State as part of fundamental changes in the Canadian political economy.
All health care professions are being transformed by the attack on the
welfare state. Nursing is challenging medical power, yet faces powerful
internal barriers and external constraints. State actions themselves are
not simply emanations from the interests of state actors, and must be
specifically described and understood. Medicine, Nursing and the State
contextualizes state-health care policy within the burgeoning literature on
globalization and the rise of business hegemony.

Long have I looked for the truth about the life of people together.
That life is crisscrossed, tangled, and difficult to understand.
I have worked hard to understand it and when I had done so
I told the truth as I found it.
