Health Policies in Interwar Europe: A Transnational Perspective: Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine

Autor Josep L. Barona
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020
Research into public health policies and expert instruction has been oriented traditionally in the national context. There is a rich historiography that analyses the development of health policies and systems in various European and American countries during the first decades of the twentieth century. What is often ignored, however, is the study of the great many connections and circulations of knowledge, people, technologies, artefacts and practices during that period between countries. This book redresses that balance.
