{"product_id":"9780367689599","title":"National Health Services Of Western Europe (Routledge Studies In Health And Social Welfare)","description":"This book draws on research within a neo-Weberian and neo-institutionalist perspective to critically analyse national health services in Western Europe. Exploring the challenges posed by neo-liberal policies, it also looks at the impact of the role of the state, the medical profession, the public, and the medical industrial complex in their development. Bringing together a top-line range of expert international contributors, this book includes national studies from three European macro-regions: Britain, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean. In the first part, the national health services of each country considered are examined historically and in a contemporary context in face of emerging challenges - from cost containment to governance. The second part looks across the macro-regions at the influence of the main actors involved on their evolution and sustainability. Comparing and contrasting the national health services of Western Europe, the book ends with a discussion of future directions. This book makes a vital contribution at a time when health services globally have been under great pressure in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is written for academics and advanced students of healthcare, management, public policy, social policy and sociology - in addition to health professionals and policy makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eGuido Giarelli, Mike Saks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eAug 14, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e340 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0367689596\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780367689599\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47594071359793,"sku":"9780367689599","price":210.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9780367689599.jpg?v=1697994467","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780367689599","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
