Overview
The steady expansion of the European Union's involvement in health over the past 20 years has been accelerated by recent events. This Handbook offers an up-to-date analytical overview of the most important topics in EU health law and policy. It outlines, as far as possible, the direction of travel for each topic and suggests research agendas for the future. Split into five parts, this book brings together international, interdisciplinary contributions to consider the past, present and future of EU health law and policy. The changing membership of the EU could see dramatic changes for EU health law and policy: the contributors consider current developments in the light of past trajectories. The book covers key institutions; policies on people and products; health systems; public health; and the health implications of the EU's external trade policies and laws. Wide-ranging and accessible, this Handbook will appeal to academics and students focussing on EU health law or policy. It will also be of interest to lawyers and policy makers working in or with the EU as well as health managers and NGOs. Contributors include: A. Alemanno, O. Bartlett, L.E. Bishop, E. Brosset, A. de Ruijter, A. den Exter, G. Dussault, M.L. Flear, M. Frischhut, A. Garde, I. Goldner Lang, S.L Greer, M. Guy, T.K. Hervey, H. Jarman, M. Koivusalo, E. Kuhlmann, C. Larsen, A. Mahalatchimy, C.B. Maier, D.S Martinsen, J.V. McHale, N. Mijatovic, E. Pavolini, M. Pilgerstorfer, C. Rieder, C.S. Rusu, W. Sauter, T. Sokol, M.-I. Ungureanu, J.W. van de Gronden, C.A. Young

Reviews
'This thought-provoking anthology can be recommended to scholars as well as to policy makers in search of the underlying patterns (and the complex interplay between them) in recent policy and legal trends within the health sector in Europe.' -- Jaan Paju, European Journal of Social Security 'This important new book offers a clear and informative guide to EU health law and policy, but it also does much more than that. The tensions at the heart of the EU's engagement with health are tackled head-on, as are the implications of the Eurozone crisis and Brexit. Through its 19 engaging and lively chapters, this is the best account to date of EU health law and policy's uncomfortable position at the intersection between the promotion of free trade, on the one hand, and public health, on the other.' -- Emily Jackson, London School of Economics, UK 'This book, with contributions from scholars across the Europe and up-to-date coverage of Brexit and its implications, will prove indispensable to anyone interested in health law in the EU, be they within or without Europe.' -- I. Glenn Cohen, Harvard Law School, US 'Overall, this handbook illuminates a number of areas of EU health law and policy, reflects on the state-of-art, praises successful achievements, critically examines dysfunctions, and sheds light on the potential direction for development and further research. It is an important contribution to EU health law and policy scholarship. This book would be of interest to EU law and policy scholars, legal practitioners, students, as well as those looking for fresh re- search ideas in the area of EU health law and policy.' -- European Journal of Health Law ' This handbook on EU health law and policy offers a wealth of information and critical views on the past, current and future role of the EU in health law and policy. . . The book edited by Hervey, Young and Bishop contains numerous excellent contributions that are mandatory material for anyone wishing to participate or interested in that debate.' -- Common Market Law Review 'Overall, this Research Handbook on EU Health Law and Policy is a welcome addition to the libraries of EU health lawyers and policymakers.' -- Scripted
