"Structured around the role of the professions as mediators between states and their 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 remake 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." "Modernising health care provides new approaches and a wealth of new empirical data for academics and students of health policy, medical sociology and the sociology of professions, and for health policy makers and managers."--BOOK JACKET.

Industry Reviews

"This highly topical book is innovative in both conceptual and empirical terms, putting flesh to the bone of the notion of modern governance. The author has an excellent overview of the literature in the field, showing critical awareness not only of the central conceptual issues and debates, but also of a wide range of empirical studies across many countries. Most importantly, Modernising Health Care fills a gap in relation to the debate and the analysis of modern governance." Viola Burau, Department of Political Science, University of Aarhus, Denmark
