Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) can make a vital contribution to public health and health systems but harnessing their potential is complex in a Europe where government-CSO relations vary so profoundly. This study is intended to outline some of the challenges and assist policy-makers in furthering their understanding of the part CSOs can play in tandem and alongside government. To this end it analyses existing evidence and draws on a set of seven thematic chapters and six mini case studies. They examine experiences from Austria Bosnia-Herzegovina Belgium Cyprus Finland Germany Malta the Netherlands Poland the Russian Federation Slovenia Turkey and the European Union and make use of a single assessment framework to understand the diverse contexts in which CSOs operate. The evidence shows that CSOs are ubiquitous varied and beneficial and the topics covered in this study reflect such diversity of aims and means: anti-tobacco advocacy food banks refugee health HIV/AIDS prevention and cure and social partnership. CSOs make a substantial contribution to public health and health systems with regards to policy development service delivery and governance. This includes evidence provision advocacy mobilization consensus building provision of medical services and of services related to the social determinants of health standard setting self-regulation and fostering social partnership. However in order to engage successfully with CSOs governments do need to make use of adequate tools and create contexts conducive to collaboration. To guide policy-makers working with CSOs through such complications and help avoid some potential pitfalls the book outlines a practical framework for such collaboration. This suggests identifying key CSOs in a given area; clarifying why there should be engagement with civil society; being realistic as to what CSOs can or will achieve; and an understanding of how CSOs can be helped to deliver.

Global Health Watch, now in its fourth edition, is widely perceived as the definitive voice for an alternative discourse on health and healthcare. It covers a range of issues that currently impact on health, including the present political and economic architecture in a fast-changing and globalized world; a political assessment of the drive towards Universal Health Coverage; broader determinants of health, such as gender-based violence and access to water; stories of struggles, actions and change; and a scrutiny of a range of global institutions and processes. It integrates rigorous analysis, alternative proposals and stories of struggle and change to present a compelling case for a radical transformation of the way we approach actions and policies on health.

Competitive health care markets are unable to produce the health status goals Americans have set for themselves. Market-driven health care replaces health status goals with profitability goals. Competitive markets can only respond to the biomedical model of health care services. They can't alter structural characteristics of poverty, disease, and injury that are the root sources of health care costs and health status outcomes. Civic community, a variation of civil society, offers a third way (as opposed to markets and government command systems) of restructuring health care by addressing the root causes of the current system's shortcomings. When given space to act, civic community is able to set new rules and guidelines that mediate and redirect excessive competitive markets and an intrusive government. Civic community is a conscious undertaking by individuals within and across multiple organizations to, through dialogue and actions, shape the function of society, in this case, the restructuring of the health care function. In civic community, organizations set aside self-interest to achieve a common interest: allocation of scarce resources for the public good. Dr. Morton, an assistant professor of sociology, examines large-scale processes and regionalized response to changing health care environments. Empirical findings, case studies, and archival documents support her contention that the civic community model can provide governments with a road map for setting regulations, monitoring, and enforcing practices relating to baseline health care, and provider and insurer behaviors. When the automatic behavior of health care markets is directed and channeled by civic community, there is emerging evidence that preferred health outcomes at affordable prices are possible.
