This original and innovative book opens up new perspectives in
health policy debate, examining the emerging international trends
in the governance of health professions and the significance of
national contexts for the changing health workforce. In bringing
together research from a wide range of continental European
countries as well as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, the
contributors highlight different arenas of governance, as well as
the various players involved in the policy process. They expand the
public debate on professional governance - hitherto mainly limited
to medical self-regulation - to encompass a broad span of health
care providers, from nurses and midwives to alternative therapists
and health support workers. The book provides new data and
geopolitical perspectives in the debate over how to govern health
care. It helps to better understand both the enabling conditions
for, and the barriers to, making professionals more accountable to
the interests of a changing public. This book will be a valuable
resource for students at an undergraduate and postgraduate level,
particularly for health programmes, sociology of professions and
comparative health policy, but also for academics, researchers and
managers working in health care.
Modernising health care: Reinventing professions, the state and the
public is a crucial contribution to debates about the rapid
modernisation of health care systems and the dynamics of changing
modes of governance and citizenship. Structured around the role of
the professions as mediators between state and citizens, and set
against a background of tighter resources and growing demands for
citizenship rights, Ellen Kuhlmann's book offers a much-needed
comparative analysis, using the German health care system as a case
study. The German system, with its strongly self-regulatory medical
profession, exemplifies both the capacity of professionalism to
re-make itself, and the role of the state in response, highlighting
the benefits and dangers of medical self-regulation, while
demonstrating the potential for change beyond marketisation and
managerialism. Kuhlmann critically reviews dominant models of
provider control and user participation, and empirically
investigates different sets of dynamics in health care, including
tensions between global reform models and nation-specific
conditions; interprofessional dynamics and changing gender
arrangements; the role of the service-user as a new stakeholder in
health care; and the rise of a new professionalism shaped by social
inclusion. Modernising health care provides new approaches and a
wealth of new empirical data for academics and students of health
policy, medical sociology and sociology of professions, and for
health policy makers and managers.
Welche Rolle spielen Geschlechterdifferenzierungen in
Professionalisierungsprozessen? Wie werden diese Differenzierungen
in Geschlechterhierarchien ubersetzt? Diese Fragen werden fur die
zahnmedizinische Profession in Deutschland analysiert. Ein
komplexes Forschungsdesign gibt Einblicke in das verwobene
Bedingungsgefuge professioneller Entwicklungen, in dem
unterschiedliche Akteure mit jeweils spezifischen Interessen
agieren, die sich nicht uneingeschrankt auf die Logik der
Geschlechterdifferenz reduzieren lassen. Die These der
Gleichsetzung von Geschlechterdifferenz und Geschlechterhierarchie
bedarf nach diesen Ergebnissen ebenso einer Differenzierung wie die
weitverbreitete Vorstellung, weibliche Geschlechtssymbolik fuhre
zwangsweise zur Deprofessionalisierung."
