Health policy is a core component of western welfare states. It is also a very complex and contested policy field where hierarchical, market, clan and network based governance forms meet and sometimes conflict. A diverse range of national and international actors influence health policy making. This seminar will provide an introduction to comparative health policy analysis as a method for analysing and comparing health systems. The Nordic health systems are used as case examples, but comparisons are made to other types of health systems in Europe (and to some extent the US). Comparative health policy analysis and regulation theory will be presented as possible theoretical foundations for analyzing differences and similarities. Potentials and problems in comparative analysis methods will be discussed with a special emphasis on performance rankings such as the WHO World Health Report 2000.
