Hans Maarse
The author, Professor Maarse, drawing upon his wealth of experience and expertise, has curated this textbook as a valuable educational asset.
The book results from many years of teaching health policy analysis or the analysis of and for health policymaking. Additionally, this year’s cohort of students following the Public Health Policy Making course at University College Venlo will use this book.
Professor Maarse has shared his thoughts on the book’s purpose:
Comprehending the nuances of health policymaking is imperative for effectively preserving and advancing public health. My book, ‘Health Policy Analysis,’ has been meticulously crafted to serve as an invaluable resource for students passionate about public health. It embarks on a comprehensive exploration of health policy and the intricacies of policymaking, offering a unique political science perspective. Inside its pages, readers will encounter a detailed health policy analysis, delving into normative choices, information dissemination, institutional beliefs, and the conflicts in our pluralistic society.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Maastricht University Press for their unwavering support in making this textbook accessible to students as an open-access resource. I sincerely hope this book’s widespread availability will significantly contribute to disseminating knowledge in the health policy and policymaking domain.
Moreover, I could not have written this book without the enthusiastic input of all the students I have met in my courses at Maastricht University. It is to them I dedicate this book.
