This book presents the healthcare reform experiences of six small-
to mid-sized, but dynamic, economies spanning the Asia-Pacific, the
Middle East and Europe. Usually not given serious consideration in
major international comparisons because of their small size, each
in fact provides a fascinating case study that illuminates the
understanding of the dynamics of healthcare reform. Although
dissimilar in historical and cultural backgrounds, they share some
important features: all faced very similar pressures for change in
the 1970s and 1980s; all considered a very similar range of policy
options; and all did not only discuss but actually implemented
fundamental changes in their healthcare funding, organization,
contracting and governance structures with strikingly different
outcomes.All of the authors have lived and worked in one or more of
the countries studied in this volume. The analytic frameworks they
use reflect their broad range of professional and disciplinary
backgrounds in health economics and political science. Beyond mere
descriptions of reform processes and superficial analyses based on
aggregate data from the usual OECD or WHO sources, they seek to
understand - and explain - the variations in country experiences by
examining the politico-socio-economic factors driving health reform
as seen through the respective country lenses. In coming together
in this unique international collaboration, they make an important
contribution to the growing field of international comparative
health policy studies.Contributors: Tsung-Mei Cheng (Princeton
University, USA), David Chinitz (The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel), Luca Crivelli and Iva Bolgiani (University of
Lugano, Switzerland), Meng-Kin Lim (National University of
Singapore, Singapore), Kieke G H Okma and Hans Maarse (Maastricht
University, The Netherlands), Toni Ashton and Tim Tenbensel
(University of Auckland, New Zealand).
