| Sumari: | Two recently published books on health policy reform, one on France by William Genieys and Mohamed-Saïd Darviche, and the second on the USA by Genieys alone, mark the latest phase of a research enterprise underway for the better part of three decades.

Taken together, the two studies also provide a significant contribution to the comparative study of public policy. Their focus on key actors allows both better understanding of the role played by national institutional opportunity structures, and a constructive critique of “institutionalism.” |
