AbstractThe development of a community program as a component of a state hospital has succeeded in providing community mental health services in a previously underserved area and has had beneficial effects within the hospital itself.

An advanced welfare state democracy is an institutionalized collective agreement on solving social problems and coordinating actions. Although welfare state democracies have different shapes, the scope of government is comprehensive, and citizens meet the welfare state services according to their needs and interests as customers, user groups, or clients (Goodin, 1988; Kumlin, 2002). An advanced welfare state penetrates its citizens' private realm and creates dependencies and expectations that "gives the state its paramount significance" across the social system it governs (Kaase & Newton, 1995). Its paramount significance is a result of processes of democratic law-making, policy development, and budget-making, and leaves hallmarks such as welfare rights, universality, and solidarity. Through time, moulded by popular opinion and civic engagement, the welfare state has established an intrinsic connection to how citizens live their lives and how it secures each citizen's essential wellbeing and mitigate socio-economic hardships and health complications (Svallfors, 2012a). ; publishedVersion

Recent data show wide disparity between Japan and the United States in the effectiveness of their health care systems. Japan spends close to the lowest percentage of its gross domestic product on health care among OECD countries, the United States spends the highest, yet life expectancies in Japan are among the world's longest. Clearly, a great deal can be learned from a comprehensive comparative analysis of health care issues in these two countries. In Health Care Issues in the United States and Japan, contributors explore the structural characteristics of the health care systems in both nati

Seeks to identify and compare the production planning and control
practices in the small machine tool and non‐fashion textile industries
in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The survey results
provide valuable background information for researchers and
practitioners who are seeking ways of helping the economy in the former
Soviet republics move towards a more effective system. The findings on
the emerging linkages between production and the market are particularly
interesting and provide insights into manufacturing practices that will
be of use to prospective international joint venture partners. In
addition, insights from the experience in the CIS may also help scholars
develop a more general theory of manufacturing excellence that can be of
use in any manufacturing context. The study is particularly timely as
the Soviet command‐control systems disintegrate and many world leaders
are beginning to promise technical assistance to help restructure the
economy in the former Soviet republics.

Analyzes the relative positions of managers & bankers in the postsocialist Hungarian economic elite in light of competing theses about managerial rule & bank hegemony in capitalist economies. Privileged & dominant positions in the economic elite are distinguished, drawing on 1990 & 1993 survey data. Socioeconomic indicators are elucidated, along with the career trajectories of economic elite from pre- to posttransition. Banker & manager career patterns differed markedly in terms of workplace career & multiple position holding, as well as Hungarian Workers Party (HSWP) membership under state socialism. While managers rose to subelite positions quicker than bankers, the latter ascended more quickly from subelite to elite positions. Manager career-related contacts were mostly in professional organizations & in the HSWP, whereas bankers were more frequently connected to external board & advisory positions. Banker & manager opinions on the control & speed of privatization are compared, finding that a key factor behind attitudinal differences was one's position in the elite. It is concluded that there is not much support for the idea that large enterprise managers played a decisive role in postsocialist conditions, but not all evidence points to the hegemonic positioning of bankers; segments of the economic elite are still competing for primacy. 3 Tables, 25 References.
