This book provides a framework for explaining why governments adopt the policies they do. In addition, it establishes a basis for comparing political systems in terms of their public policies rather than their institutions or political processes. The book begins by placing in a historical perspective the worldwide role of the state as a major provider of goods and services. Following this general background is an 'accounting scheme' that brings some semblance of order to the seemingly infinite variety of policy-relevant variables and makes the comparative study of public policy more manageable. It is suggested that any nation's public policies can be explained in terms of situational, structural, environmental and cultural factors. The second part of the book applies the accounting scheme to an increasingly specific and narrow range of public policies. The author examines one crucial area of public policy - health care - and the evolution of that policy in four diverse nations: Germany, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and Japan. The book concludes with an assessment of the prospects for an American national health care programme in the light of the experiences of these other nations.

Die amtliche Statistik etablierte sich im 19. Jahrhundert als essentielle Wissenstechnik moderner Staatlichkeit: Einerseits konstitutierte sie das Regierungs-Objekt, die "Bevölkerung", über die sie andererseits ein umfangreiches Regierungs-Wissen bereit stellte. Mit der statistischen Erfassung und Präsentation wurden die politischen Probleme der Armut, der Delinquenz und der Krankheit als Massenphänomene erkennbar, die eine rational abgesicherte gouvernementalistische Intervention erreichten. Zugleich mussten die Statistiker aber auch die individualistischen und politischen Grenzen ihres Zugriffs auf das Leben der Menschen erkennen.

This book traverses three pivotal human rights struggles of the post-September 11th era: the American human rights campaign to challenge the Bush administration's "War on Terror" torture and detention policies, Middle Eastern efforts to challenge American human rights practices (reversing the traditional West to East flow of human rights mobilizations and discourses), and Middle Eastern attempts to challenge their own leaders' human rights violations in light of American interventions. This book presents snapshots of human rights being appropriated, promoted, claimed, reclaimed, and contested within and between the American and Middle Eastern contexts. The inquiry has three facets: first, it explores intersections between human rights norms and power as they unfold in the era. Second, it lays out the layers of the era's American and Middle Eastern encounter on the human rights plane. Finally, it draws out the era's key lessons for moving the human rights project forward.
