走向全球：护理跨国化。

本文批判性地探讨了“护理跨国化”作为一个正在进行的社会进程和调查领域的轮廓。关怀跨国化奖学金结合了对全球权力关系的结构性理解，强调以关注人类机构，物质福利和更广泛的社会发展的方式确定的行为者之间的社会互动。然而，它倾向于优先考虑某些形式、动态和护理地点的跨国化。关于护理劳动力移徙的研究是迄今为止关于护理跨国化的最成熟的文献，但在涉及跨国界关系及其在不同国家背景下的调解方面存在一些偏见和遗漏。与此同时，其他重要形式的护理跨国化，如涉及以消费者为基础的护理移徙、公司重组和护理政策的制定等，都受到相对忽视。努力制定一项综合议程，处理这些不同形式的跨国化护理以及它们如何在一系列部门、社会和国家背景下“落地”，对于旨在了解社会和经济结构调整进程对更广泛发展影响的政策研究议程至关重要。
This article critically examines the contours of ‘care transnationalization’ as an ongoing social process and a field of enquiry. Care transnationalization scholarship combines structural understandings of global power relations with an emphasis on social interactions between defined actors in ways that keep sight of human agency, material welfare and wider social development. It has, however, tended to privilege particular forms, dynamics and sites of care transnationalization over others. The body of research on care labour migration, which is otherwise the most developed literature on care transnationalization to date, contains a number of biases and omissions in its coverage of border-spanning relations and their mediation across country contexts. At the same time, other significant forms of care transnationalization, such as those involving consumer-based care migration, corporate restructuring and the formation of care policy, have suffered from comparative neglect. Working towards an integrated agenda that addresses these diverse expressions of care transnationalization and how they ‘touch down’ in a range of sectoral, social and country contexts is of prime importance to policy research agendas directed at understanding the wider development impacts of processes of social and economic restructuring.
