Description

Explore the complex evolution of healthcare in China with this academic study from Routledge. In The Chinese State's Retreat from Health, Jane Duckett examines how the Chinese state has reduced its role in funding health services and providing insurance for its citizens since the post-Mao period. This book moves beyond simple economic explanations of market reform. It provides a deep analysis of how health policies, political institutions, and Communist Party ideology have shaped the landscape of medical care. By comparing China to industrialized democracies and post-communist Eastern Europe, the text offers a unique framework for understanding state retrenchment. Readers will gain insights into the influence of bureaucratic stakeholders and the political forces that drive changes in public service provision. This work is an essential resource for those studying China in transition and the sociological shifts in medical and social sciences.
