Publisher Synopsis
"This highly topical book is innovative in both conceptual and empirical terms, putting flesh to the bone of the notion of modern governance. The author has an excellent overview of the literature in the field, showing critical awareness not only of the central conceptual issues and debates, but also of a wide range of empirical studies across many countries. Most importantly, Modernising Health Care fills a gap in relation to the debate and the analysis of modern governance." Viola Burau, Department of Political Science, University of Aarhus, Denmark Read more...
