Care Work
Care Work is a collection of original essays on the complexities of providing care. These essays emphasize how social policies intersect with gender, race, and class to alternately compel women to perform care work and to constrain their ability to do so. Leading international scholars from a range of disciplines provide a groundbreaking analysis of the work of caring in the context of the family, the market, and the welfare state.
Success and Failure in Public Governance
Why do some policies succeed so well while others, in the same sector or country, fail dramatically? The aim of this book is to answer this question and provide systematic research on the nature, sources and consequences of policy failure. The expert contributors analyse and evaluate the success and failure of four policy areas (Steel, Health Care, Finance, HIV and the Blood Supply) in six European countries, namely France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Spain and Sweden. The book is therefore able to compare success and failure across countries as well as policy areas, enabling a test of a variety of theoretical assumptions about policy making and government.
Euthanasia and Law in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is the only country in the world in which euthanasia, under narrow-defined circumstances, is legally permissible. Considerable attention has been paid over a number of years to the problem of regulating it and information has been systematically collected concerning actual practice. Therefore the Dutch experience is of interest not only to the Dutch, but to anyone who is considering wether or not to make euthanasia a legal practice. This book is written for a reader without specific knowledge of law. The central focus of the book is on Dutch law pertaining to euthanansia, but it also considers the moral and legal principles that have played a role in the Dutch debate, the available evidence bearing on actual practice and on the effectiveness of legal control. It ends with some reflections on the problem of the 'slippery slope' and the question whether the Dutch experience is 'exportable'. It includes translations of the relevant legislation (including proposed reforms) and of three leading cases.
De Nederlandse gezondheidszorg
De Nederlandse gezondheidszorg biedt een overzicht van ontwikkelingen en instellingen in de Nederlandse gezondheidszorg. Sinds 1983 zijn er meerdere succesvolle en veelgelezen edities van dit boek uitgebracht. In deze achtste, herziene druk geven de auteurs opnieuw een geactualiseerd en helder beeld van de zeer complexe organisatie van de gezondheidszorg.De Nederlandse gezondheidszorg is het standaardwerk voor studenten, praktijkwerkers, innovatoren, journalisten, beleidsmakers en managers in de gezondheidszorg. Het boek bestaat uit drie delen. Deel 1 gaat over de zorgvraag (overzichten van gezondheid en ziekte in Nederland, zelfzorg, mantelzorg, patiëntenorganisaties). Deel 2 behandelt het zorgaanbod (de diverse zorgvoorzieningen en zorginstellingen). De overheid komt in deel 3 aan bod (bestuur en beleid, verzekeringsstelsel, marktwerking). De overzichtelijke indeling en de uitgebreide registers maken dit boek prettig leesbaar.

The volume is organized by topic, not country-by-country description, and offers information in the following sequence: methods of cost accounting, how budgets are screened and how rates are described, units of payment, how capital is distributed for buildings and equipment, deciding wages of hopital doctors, the organization of medical staffs, the work of financial managers, effects of different methods on levels of costs, volume, types of services, quality of care, and so on.

Maatschappelijke Dienstverlening
In steeds meer landen in de Europese Unie is discussie over de plaats, sturing en kwaliteit van maatschappelijke dienstverlening, de public service delivery. Maatschappelijke dienstverlening, zoals onder meer in de sfeer van het onderwijs en de gezondheidszorg, vormt een essentieel onderdeel van de verzorgingsstaat, maar het lijkt alsof juist deze sector is verwaarloosd. In de huidige publieke discussies is veel kritiek te bespeuren op de kwaliteit, de omvang, de toegankelijkheid en de bestuurbaarheid van maatschappelijke dienstverlening. In dit rapport wordt intersectoraal gezocht naar concepties en ‘best practices’ die op verschillende gebieden het navolgen waard zijn. Bij deze verkenning hoort het rapport Bewijzen van goede dienstverlening. WRR-rapport 70
