Description for Publics and Their Health Systems: Rethinking Participation
Hardback. Stewart draws on a case study of Scotland's NHS to argue that debates about citizen participation in health systems are disproportionately dominated by techniques of invited participation. Rethinking participation takes us into the realms of representative democracy, contentious protest politics and individual citizens' micro-level tactics. Series: Palgrave Studies in Science, Knowledge and Policy. Num Pages: 160 pages, 2 black & white illustrations, 5 black & white tables. BIC Classification: JPHV; MBP.
