A broad-ranging introduction to the provision, funding and
governance of health care across a variety of systems. This revised
fifth edition incorporates additional material on low/middle income
countries, as well as broadened coverage relating to healthcare
outside of hospitals and the ever-increasing diversity of the
healthcare workforce today.
Care of the elderly in their own homes has increasingly come into
the focus of contemporary welfare policies and raises important
questions about the governance of welfare in general. By taking a
comparative and thematic approach, this interesting and timely book
offers a comprehensive analysis of the principal issues surrounding
the governance of home care. The analysis presented systematically
maps out governing arrangements in relation to formal and informal
care services, informal care, care workers and users of care across
nine countries. The authors explore the ways in which country
specific contexts shape governing arrangements and bring together
insights from social care and public policy literature, two
different yet complementary theoretical perspectives. Combining
social care and public policy, Governing Home Care will be of great
interest to scholars and postgraduate students and researchers of
comparative social and public policy, as well as gender studies
with particular interest in health policy, welfare state policies,
family studies, and the sociology of caring and ageing.
