About this book
This monograph applies Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework to two policymaking episodes of implementing pay for performance in general practice, conducted in England and New Zealand. The Framework’s explanatory power for policymaking in Westminster majoritarian jurisdictions is tested and, based on rigorous comparative analysis, recommendations are made for its refinement.
The monograph also offers striking lessons for policymakers about how to negotiate successfully with general practitioners.

Reviews
“The author has done her job provocatively well.” (Professor Nikolaos Zahariadis, Mertie Buckman Chair and Professor of International Studies, Rhodes College, USA)
“Smith applies Kingdon’s model to two empirical cases, but goes beyond this in a more comprehensive account which helps explain why the policy processes unfolded in the way they did. Students and scholars of policy making will find much that is of interest in this fascinating and illuminating book.” (Professor Ruth McDonald, University of Manchester, UK)
“In this compelling analysis, Verna Smith has carefully compared processes of health policy reform in England and New Zealand and explores the role played by policy entrepreneurs in agenda change. This nuanced, enlightening study has generated many insights of both practical and theoretical significance. Health planners, providers and policymakers will all benefit from reading this excellent book.” (Professor Michael Mintrom, Monash University, Australia)
