This unique book enhances our understanding of the links between
professions, the state and the market - and their implications for
the public in terms of professional practice. In so doing, the book
adopts a neo-Weberian perspective, in which professions are seen as
a form of exclusionary social closure based on legal boundaries
established by the state. To illustrate the overarching theme, the
book considers how healthcare in general, and medicine in
particular as a form of professional work, is organized in public
and private arenas in three societies with different
socio-political philosophies - namely, Britain, the United States
and Russia. As such, it examines the varying extent to which the
development of independent professional organizations has been
enhanced or restricted in public, as compared to more privatized
social contexts. The comparative perspective adopted in this book
thereby provides insight into the organization of professional work
in different contexts and the all-important effects of this on
delivery to the public. This book will be of particular interest to
scholars, researchers and students of Management, Public Policy and
Health Care.
