Gesundheitspolitik ist angesichts der vielfältigen Herausforderungen an das deutsche Gesundheitssystem in aller Munde. Es erscheint notwendig, diesen Diskurs unter anderem auch aus einer ökonomisch-volkswirtschaftlichen Perspektive zu führen. Hauptanliegen dieses Lehrbuches ist es, die dafür wesentlichen Grundlagen zu schaffen. Es vermittelt zunächst die Grundzüge der Gesundheitsökonomie und gibt anschließend einen vertieften, umfassenden Einblick in die Institutionen, die Steuerungsprozesse und die praktischen Regulierungen des Gesundheitssystems. Die Neuauflage, an der erstmals Wilfried Boroch von der FOM Hochschule Essen beteiligt ist, zielt auf eine größere Ausgewogenheit von Theorie und Praxis der Gesundheitsökonomie. Das Buch richtet sich daher nicht nur an Studierende der Wirtschafts- und Gesundheitswissenschaften, sondern auch an Angehörige medizinischer, pflegerischer und anderer gesundheitsnaher Berufe, die sich mit Gesundheitsökonomie beschäftigen wollen.

First published in 1953, The Refugee in the Post-War World presents a comprehensive survey on the global refugee situation after the Second World War. Chapter I and II of Part I attempt a definition of what is meant by a refugee and states the problems to which the refugees give rise for the receiving countries and the international community; chapter III contains a brief account of the work of the international bodies concerned with refugees from the First World War onwards; and chapter IV tells the story of the various ethnic and national groups of refugees after the Second World War. The other parts give an analysis of the refugees' situation in the different countries. The latter are classified in two ways: according to their place on the map and to their capacity to absorb refugees. Each chapter describing the refugee position in a particular country is divided further into three sections: an introduction intended to afford a bird's eye view of the general refugee problem in that country; a second section setting forth the main legislative provisions applicable to aliens and, more specially to refugees; and the third which gives an account of the refugees' economic and social conditions. This is an important historical reference work for scholars and researchers of refugee studies, international relations, political studies, and immigration studies.
