Dr Cris Beauchemin is researcher at INED and associate professor at the department of demography of the University of Montreal. He holds his PhD from the University Paris 8. Prior to joining INED, he spent 3 years at the University of Montreal (Demography Department). Most of his research is about migration and connections between places of origin and destination. Covering both domestic and international migration, especially in the African context, his works relate to trends of migration, migrants' investments, return migration, transnational families, integration and transnationalism... In the last decade, he was responsible of projects involving large scale surveys: the Migration between Africa and Europe project (MAFE) and the Trajectories and origin survey in France (TeO).

"This book has interesting themes for policymakers and those interested in the participation and engagement process, particularly around what constitutes 'participation' and how this is responded to. Whilst focused on examples from Scotland, the themes identified by Stewart have wider resonance as she raises insightful questions about the nature of participation, which health services should be grappling with as they continue to face fiscal pressure and have to make difficult decisions around disinvestment."
