Dear Elizabeth Ettorre,
The Policy Press have just published a new book, 'Modernising health
care:
Reinventing professions, the state and the public' by Ellen Kuhlmann. I
think that the book will be of interest to members of the Medical
Sociology
and Health Policy network.
This is a crucial contribution to debates about the rapid modernisation
of
health care systems and the dynamics of changing modes of governance and
citizenship. Structured around the role of the professions as mediators
between state and 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 re-make 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.
I would be very grateful, if you feel it were appropriate, if you could
circulate information about the book to the network. You can access
further
information on our website -

I can provide further promotional material if you require it, so please
don't hesitate to get in touch.
With thanks and best regards,
Jessica
