Heike Walk greift drei aktuelle Themen der politikwissenschaftlichen Forschung auf: die Partizipations- und Governancedebatte sowie die Klimapolitik. Die Autorin setzt sich mit der demokratietheoretischen Relevanz von Governanceprozessen auseinander und legt die vielfältigen Beteiligungsformen nichtstaatlicher Akteure auf den verschiedenen Ebenen der Klimapolitik dar. Dabei steht die These im Vordergrund, dass sich ein wirksamer Klimaschutz nicht allein durch eine breite Öffentlichkeits- und Informationspolitik durchsetzen lässt, sondern auch der breiten Einbeziehung und des Mitmachens weiter Teile der Bevölkerung bedarf.

While diplomacy is a well-established topic for study, global governance is a relatively new arrival to the conceptual landscape of international relations. At first glance the two exist in separate worlds. This book examins the relationship between these two concepts for the first time in a comprehensive manner

This original and innovative book opens up new perspectives in health policy debate, examining the emerging international trends in the governance of health professions and the significance of national contexts for the changing health workforce. In bringing together research from a wide range of continental European countries as well as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, the contributors highlight different arenas of governance, as well as the various players involved in the policy process. They expand the public debate on professional governance - hitherto mainly limited to medical self-regulation - to encompass a broad span of health care providers, from nurses and midwives to alternative therapists and health support workers. The book provides new data and geopolitical perspectives in the debate over how to govern health care. It helps to better understand both the enabling conditions for, and the barriers to, making professionals more accountable to the interests of a changing public. This book will be a valuable resource for students at an undergraduate and postgraduate level, particularly for health programmes, sociology of professions and comparative health policy, but also for academics, researchers and managers working in health care.
