There are likewise varied other reasons for reading this book. In the preface, Rudolf Klein suggests that the study provides authoritative information, fits into a clear interpretative framework, and not only builds on existing theory but raises new questions. The framework to which most authors show varying degrees of deference is a combination of policy models anchored in attention to institutions, interests, and values.1 Beyond such basic models, in attempting to explain why reforms were implemented and the extent of choice offered to health care consumers, the contributors invoke such concepts as Kingdon's “window of opportunity”2 and Hirschman's “exit, voice, and loyalty.”3 In this respect, the editors succeeded in producing a set of cases that fit together and enrich one another.
