- Synopsis
- Thisbook deals with the critical empirical void created by the speed at whichhealthcare restructuring has taken place in Europe. Chapters explore thepolitical uncertainty and budgetary pressures which have led governmentsincreasingly to turn to New Public Management (NPM)-style reforms to attempt tobalance the financial viability of public health structures, with democraticimperatives to maintain socially just outcomes. The authors of this volumeconsider how governments have therefore shifted identities from principal careproviders to contractual monitors, setting targets increasingly directed towardthird-party managers in quasi-markets and the private sector. Drawing uponextensive data from Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, and Israel, thecontributions explore the often unexpected policy outputs and outcomesengendered by such reforms.
