Agenda-setting in nascent policy subsystems: issue and instrument priorities across venues.

Unlabelled: The "policy subsystem" has long been a key concept in our understanding of how policies on a given topic are produced. However, we know much less about policymaking in nascent policy subsystems. This article draws on the theories of agenda-setting and venue shopping to argue that the similarity and convergence of policy subsystems' agendas across different institutional venues and over time are features that distinguish more nascent policy subsystems from their more established, mature counterparts.

Pathways to policy integration: a subsystem approach.

Researchers in public policy and public administration agree that policy integration is a process. Nevertheless, scholars have given limited attention to political aspects that facilitate or impede integration. This paper aims at filling that gap, by looking at how different theories of the policy process can help in explaining the process of policy integration as shaped by policy subsystems.

Is there a "pandemic effect" on individuals' willingness to take genetic tests?

In this cross-sectional, semi-longitudinal and quasi-experimental study, our goal was to determine the effect of data storage conditions on willingness to take a genetic test. We compared individuals' preferences regarding how they want to store health data collected from genetic tests through two survey experiments fielded in Switzerland in March 2020 and January 2022. We tested for differences whether genetic data are presented as private goods or public goods.

How does regulating doctors' admissions affect health expenditures? Evidence from Switzerland.

Background: Cost containment is a major issue for health policy, in many countries. Policymakers have used various measures to deal with this problem. In Switzerland, the national parliament and subnational (cantonal) governments have used moratoriums to limit the admission of specialist doctors and general practitioners.

Public opinion on health care and public health.

In the health policy literature, scholars and practitioners distinguish broadly between health care and public health interventions. Both types of policies are indispensable to deal with pressing health problems. Nevertheless, we know very little about how individuals support the principle logic behind these two approaches to health policy.

Varieties of public-private policy coordination: How the political economy affects multi-actor implementation.

This study seeks to introduce the concept of Varieties of Capitalism to the study of multi-actor implementation arrangements. It illustrates the analytical value of this classification scheme by drawing from original empirical data and addresses two key research questions, namely how do public and private actors cooperate in delivering on public policy, and which factors determine the scope of their cooperation? To address these questions, the article examines governance arrangements adopted by individual European Union member states for implementing the Youth Guarantee. The Youth Guarantee was selected because all European Union member states must and have indeed already started to implement it, meaning it provides a broad empirical base for observing different types of public-private coordination.

Governing Personalized Health: A Scoping Review.

Genetic research is advancing rapidly. One important area for the application of the results from this work is personalized health. These are treatments and preventive interventions tailored to the genetic profile of specific groups or individuals.
