Beskrivning
The book analyses how policies to prevent diseases are related to policies aiming to cure illnesses. It does this by conducting a comparative historical analysis of Australia, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. It also demonstrates how the politicization of the medical profession contributes to the success of preventative health policy. The book argues that two factors lead to a close relationship of curative and preventative elements in health policies and institutions: a strong national government that possesses a wide range of control over subnational levels of government, and whether professional organizations (especially the medical profession) perceive preventative and non-medical health policy as important and campaign for it politically. The book provides a historical and comparative narrative to substantiate this claim empirically.

Recensioner i media

'Trein's book is a remarkable achievement, stimulating, deeply informed and addressing some of the most vexing issues in the application of institutional/historical frameworks to complex policy developments. From an interest in how policy sectors coordinate well or poorly, Trein treats five country cases as evidence for his view that overall governance arrangements shape whether, in the policy fields of public health and medical care are integrated and cooperative or not. The theory, the applications, and findings make a genuine contribution of the comparative and historical study of health policies, a field much in need of theoretical clarity and accurate cross-national evidence.' Theodore Marmor, Yale University, Connecticut and co-author of Politics, Health, and Health Care
