Examining the changing nature of health care federalism within a competitive global context, Comparative Health Care Federalism provides a rich and nuanced account of the way in which the interplay of federal relationships impact health care within an array of systems.

Complementing the theoretical and methodological objectives, this book provides a detailed, empirical description of the challenges faced by different states and the ways in which health policy-making works within the federal, quasi-federal, and functional federal systems presented. In chapters on the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, the United Kingdom, the EU, India, China, Brazil, and the Russian Federation the authors consider what variables contribute to, and stand in the way of, the formation of robust and sustainable health care systems.

El estudio abarca ocho de los principales países latinoamericanos (Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Perú, Uruguay y Venezuela) que han aplicado, están aplicando, o se proponen aplicar políticas de innovación basadas en la implantación de PCT, y presenta un primer mapeo de la localización de los parques en estos países.
