This book, edited by a team of leading European bioethicists, is in all respects an innovative publication. As part of the core materials project of the European Ethics Network, this book collects European perspectives on health care ethics reflecting both the rich philosophical tradition and the broad interdisciplinary network in the field of European health care ethics. In the first part of the book on the physician-patient relationship, the authors present different views on the integration of patient autonomy in the relational structure of the medical profession. Here, the focus is on the reception of patient autonomy in the European context and on European alternatives for the radical understanding of patient autonomy. In the second part of this book, the contributions deal with the ethical problems of clinical research with patients and with the ethical values involved in human experimentation. In the third part of the book, the just organisation of the health care system and the consequent resource allocation are critically examined. With their common European background, the authors want to enrich and encourage the ongoing discussion on the physician-patient relationship, human experimentation and justice in health care from various perspectives and different points of departure. Therefore, this volume is suitable for the interested reader as well as for educational purposes

«Vieillir en restant actif », voilà le message que porte l’Année européenne 2012 du vieillissement actif et de la solidarité entre les générations. Mais que signifie cette expression ? Travailler plus longtemps ? Oui, mais pas seulement…En posant leurs « Regards pluriels » sur le vieillissement actif, les contributions de ce numéro des Politiques sociales entendent résolument ouvrir les yeux de son lectorat sur le potentiel, peu connu pour les non-experts et les citoyens de tous âges, de cette notion. Pour autant, les perspectives d’Europe et d’ailleurs ne vont pas toutes dans le même sens : en fonction des données empiriques recueillies et des domaines d’action étudiés (emploi, bénévolat, maintien à domicile, participation sociale, etc.), elles invitent à replacer les significations diverses de l’activité associée au vieillissement dans leurs contextes de production et d’usage.Ce n’est qu’à cette condition, permise par un travail collectif tel que le propose ce numéro, que l’on pourra juger de la pertinence politique, scientifique et citoyenne d’une telle notion.

Hospitals of the future will confront difficult challenges: new patterns of disease, rapidly evolving medical technologies, ageing populations, and continuing budget constraints. This book explores the competing pressures facing policymakers across Europe as they struggle to respond to these complex challenges. It argues that hospitals, as part of a larger health system, should focus on enhancing health outcomes while also responding to public expectations. Adopting a cross-national, cross-disciplinary perspective, the study assesses recent evidence on the factors driving hospital reform and the strategies used to improve organizational performance. It reviews the evidence from eastern as well as western Europe and combines academic research with real-world policy experience
