当代全球化进程产生了一种特殊的风险格局。造成这种局面的原因是经济需求导致危险活动、工艺和材料的出口，再加上这些活动所处的监管空间不均衡。可察觉的新自由主义在经济调控方面的转变，导致了相当多的强调“解放”国内市场力量，并向国际市场的纪律力量开放国家和地方经济和劳动力市场。这些变化的直接后果是增加了对数百万人健康和福祉的风险，尽管其影响在世界不同地区的程度不同。本文探讨了这些问题，并提出了这些变化可能对公共卫生风险产生的长期影响的问题，特别是在最近发展中国家和新兴经济体。
Processes of contemporary globalization generate a particular landscape of risk. This landscape is shaped by the economic imperatives that lead to the export of hazardous activities, processes and materials in combination with the uneven regulatory spaces within which these activities are placed. The perceptible neo-liberal shift in the regulation of economies has resulted in considerable emphasis on ‘freeing up’ of market forces nationally and opening national and sub-national economies and labour markets to the disciplining forces of international markets. These are changes with direct consequences in terms of enhanced risks to the health and well-being of millions of people, although their effects have been experienced to differing degrees in different parts of the world. This paper explores these issues and raises questions about the long-term implications that these shifts may have for public health risk, especially in recently developing countries and emerging economies.
