In person icon Governing Care in Postcommunist Context

Abstract

In recent decades, policy studies have come to understand that care policies present not only a central societal goal but also the nexus of vivid discussions about who is the expert to decide the care to be administered, what knowledge counts as the relevant one, and how this knowledge should be communicated or implemented. Especially, the postcommunist context opens arena of multiple tensions related to narratives of democratization, liberalisation and the turn to market .This panel adresses various negotiations over social or health policies in such postcommunist context thereby searching to understand the challenges it implies for understanding policy processes and governing regimes.
