In \u003cem\u003eRemaking Policy\u003c\/em\u003e, Carolyn Hughes Tuohy advances an ambitious new approach to understanding the relationship between political context and policy change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on health care policy, Tuohy argues for a more nuanced conception of the dynamics of policy change, one that makes two key distinctions regarding the opportunities for change and the magnitude of such changes. Four possible strategies emerge: large-scale and fast-paced (\"big bang\"), large-scale and slow-paced (\"blueprint\"), small-scale and rapid (\"mosaic\"), and small-scale and gradual (\"incremental\"). As Tuohy demonstrates, these strategies are determined not by political and institutional conditions themselves, but by the ways in which political actors, individually and collectively, read those conditions to assess their prospects for success in the present and over time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on interviews as well as primary and secondary accounts of ten health policy cases over seven decades (1945--2015) in the US, UK, the Netherlands, and Canada, \u003cem\u003eRemaking Policy\u003c\/em\u003e represents a major advance in understanding the scale and pace of change in health policy and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Tuohy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487522533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487522537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018","brand":"Carolyn Tuohy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825788866815,"sku":"9781487522537","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c777981-8517-4075-b251-7102e3ae00fa.jpg?v=1746073627","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/remaking-policy-carolyn-tuohy-9781487522537","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
