Governing beyond markets and managerialism: professions as mediators1
Governing beyond markets and managerialism: professions as mediators1
This chapter discusses the transformability of professional groups as mediators between the state and its citizens, using Germany as a case study. It attempts to highlight the transformability of the ‘private interest government’ of professions and how it is targeted by institutional pathways of changing professional governance. It brings into view the linkage between policy and professionalism and a potential for modernising health systems. This approach moves beyond the controversies of marketisation/bureaucratic regulation, and the submergence/convergence of health systems and focuses instead on the role of the professions as ‘mediators’ between the state and its citizens.
Keywords: Germany, professional governance, modernising health systems, professionalism, bureaucratic regulation
