This book assesses how governance has evolved in six nations –
England, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands –
between 1970 and 2018. More specifically, it examines how the
governance approaches and the sets of policy tools used to govern
have altered with respect to four public policy sectors that
represent core responsibilities of the modern OECD state:
education, energy, environment and health. To structure this
analytical approach, the book harnesses sociological
institutionalism in the area of ‘policy sequencing’ to trace
both the motivations and the consequences of policy-makers’
altering governance approaches and the resulting policy tools.
Combining a comparative and international focus, this book will
appeal to scholars and students of public policy and governance.

The standard classifications of health systems don't allow for the
complexity and variety that exists around the world. Federico Toth
sets out a new framework for understanding the many ways in which
health systems can be organized and systematically analyses the
health systems chosen by 27 OECD countries. He provides a great
deal of up-to-date data on financing models, healthcare spending,
insurance coverage, methods of organizing providers, healthcare
personnel, remuneration methods for doctors and hospitals,
development trajectories and recent reforms. For each of the major
components of the healthcare system, the organizational models and
the possible variants from which individual countries can ideally
select are defined. Then, based on the organizational solutions
actually adopted, the various national systems are grouped into
homogeneous families. With its clear, jargon-free language and
concrete examples, this is the most accessible comparative study of
international healthcare arrangements available.
