This book examines the role that case studies play in understanding and explaining British health policy. Overall, the chapters cover the key health policy literatures in terms of the policy process, analytical frameworks and some of the seminal moments of the NHS. They have been written by health policy researchers in sociology, social policy, management and organisation studies. The book explores and promotes the case study as an under-used method and thereby encourages a more reflective approach to policy learning by practitioners and academics.Less
