This work provides an accessible case study approach to European health care systems, medicine and nursing. The institutional analysis explains how welfare states have reformed hospitals and health professions with varying degrees of success.

Reviews

'..an important addition to the comparative study of health professions and the organisation of health care work...analyses health professions in a cross-country comparative context...the study goes beyond the familiar professions-state duality and is an important addition to the literature...a well rounded and fairly comprehensive study...by including nursing the study addresses a clear shortcoming in the literature...the strongly theory-driven nature of the analysis should provide a valuable basis for future studies.' - Viola Burau, Critical Public Health

'..this is a useful overview that will be of particular interest to students looking at comparative social policy and health policy in Europe.' - Dr Stephen Timmons, Medical Sociology News

'It is a volume that includes an excellent combination of theory and empirical data, worth reading by academics, policy-makers and administrators.' - Ana M. Guillen, Public Administration
