Labour Relations and Health Reform

by Kurt Wetzel

"This topical and timely comparative book examines the experiences of five jurisdictions - Great Britain, New Zealand, New South Wales, Saskatchewan and Alberta - each of which exercises power in the areas of labour, health and fiscal policy throughout the restructuring process. While fiscal concerns drive each government, their ideologies determine the nature of reform initiatives and the manner in which management operates. The case studies include examples of neoliberal, social democratic and opportunistic administrations."--BOOK JACKET.
