Taking a 'decentred' approach to the analysis of health policy
means being attentive to the historical contingencies and
circumstances within which reforms are located, the influence of
dominant or elite narratives in the shaping of policy, the local
traditions and customary practices through which policies are
mobilised, and the way local actors contest, negotiate and
co-construct policy. This book offers a unique analysis of the
changing landscape of healthcare reform in Britain, as an example
of decentralized reforms across the developed world. The collection
is framed by the recognition that healthcare reform has resulted in
variegated and decentralized forms of governance. The chapters look
at distinct aspects of reform within the British NHS to bring to
light the influence of local histories, traditions, coalitions, and
values, in the remaking of a national healthcare system. Each
chapter focuses on a different aspects of reform, and in others
developing cross-national and comparative analysis. However, each
offers a unique contribution and analysis of contemporary theories
of healthcare governance. This book will be of key interest to
scholars, students and practitioners in healthcare, health and
social policy, political science, and public management and
governance.
