Globalization, states, and the health of indigenous peoples

SJ Kunitz
Department of Community and Preventive Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, NY 14642, USA. Stephen_Kunitz@urmc.rochester.edu

The consequences of globalization are mixed, and for the indigenous peoples of poor countries globalization has potentially important benefits. These are the result not of participation in the global economy but of participation in global networks of other indigenous peoples, environmental activists, and nongovernmental organizations. Since World War II, nonstate actors such as these have gained standing in international forums. It is indigenous peoples' growing visibility and ability to mobilize international support against the policies of their own national governments that has contributed in some important instances to their improved chances of survival.
