Policy-making in public health is highly complex, which is one
reason why the behavioural turn is now playing a significant role
in this field. Against this backdrop, this book aims to develop a
theoretical understanding of how policymakers take up public health
challenges and how policies change over the course of time.
Accordingly, the book reveals policy-makers' underlying
assumptions, which influence the way in which public policy seeks
to promote the health status of citizens. In a second step, the
book presents a typology of policy instruments and applies this to
the field of health promotion. This typology introduces an option
that adds behaviourally informed insights to the toolbox of
political analysis. Empirical evidence of behavioural health
policies can be found in various countries around the world, and
the book presents both relevant country studies and examples from
the supra- and international level. Finally, the book discusses the
implications of the rise of behavioural health policies, proposes a
specific concept of health citizenship and reviews state-citizen
relations. The book is useful for academics from health-related
disciplines, such as political science, sociology, and public
health, as well as for policy-makers, practitioners and students.
