• Starting with more general issues of healthcare policy and governance in a global perspective and using the lens of national case studies of healthcare reform, this handbook addresses key themes in the debates over changing healthcare policy. -- Healthcare policy is one of contemporary society's most dynamic policy arenas. Heightened pressures such as the global economic crisis, demographic changes, and inequity have increased interest in international, transnational, and global health policy. Yet, new concepts of healthcare may create diverse and contradictory results around the world that call for careful empirical investigation and for a systematic approach that brings the complexity of governing healthcare into perspective. This international handbook addresses key themes in the debates over changing healthcare policy. This includes health human resources planning; major concepts of management and leadership in healthcare; traditional and emergent areas of governance; and the challenges of equity and equality in the development, provision of, and access to healthcare services for diverse groups of citizens. With a focus on connections, including global and local perspectives, and macro-and micro-level policy using a multi-level governance approach, this handbook provides nuanced research that illuminates the intricate issues in global healthcare policy and governance. 
• "This Handbook arrives at a moment of intense search for ways to improve the performance of health systems worldwide, expressed mainly in the pursuit of universal health coverage. [It] offers a critical, multidisciplinary, and geographically pluralistic perspective on contemporary healthcare policy and governance issues, which will prove invaluable not only to students of the health sciences but also to health policy researchers and decision-makers around the world." - Dr. Julio Frenk, Dean of the Faculty, Harvard School of Public Health, USA "A monumental book covering all areas of health policy, which should be a source of reference for all researchers and policy-makers." - Naoki Ikegami, Professor and Chair, School of Medicine, Keio University, Japan "The globalization of health research has not only laid bare the vast inequities in the health and well being of the world's citizens, it has also given us the opportunity to understand how local, national and international forces interact to create those inequities. In this impressive volume, Kuhlmann and her colleagues have used that opportunity to collect the latest and best comparative research on health policy and governance in a way that is immediately accessible and useful for all who wish to address the harm caused by the unfair distribution of resources that promote health." - Raymond De Vries, Professor, School of Medicine, University of Michigan, USA.
