Abstract

Health Politics in Europe: A Handbook is a major contribution to an enduring quest to compare Europe’s disparate health systems, in order to not only understand but improve them (Marmor, Freeman, and Okma 2005; Sturdy, Freeman, and Smith-Merry 2013). In this task, the handbook offers readers an authoritative account of the historical and current political-institutional trajectories of thirty-six health systems in Europe.
