From the reviews: "This unique book focuses on an exploration and map of policy innovations. ... The book would be useful to anyone wanting to look at policy from a different perspective. It is so radically different that health policy students would benefit ... . Doctoral students with a policy minor would benefit." (Carole A. Kenner, Doody's Review Services, January, 2009) "This book is the result of a two-year conversation between the six authors during the period 2006-2008. ... The authors provide many examples and case studies for new policy approaches from different parts of Europe and at different levels of governance. The book will be of interest to graduate students and professionals in health policy, health administration, and health economics." (SciTech Book News, March, 2009)
