Editorial The Bertelsmann Foundation has a tradition of comparative policy research and international benchmarking. In Germany, it has established a reputation for providing advice and innovative problem-solving in the field of economic and social politics. The International Reform Monitor (www.reformmonitor.org), initiated in 1999 and now in its sixth year, is one example of this benchmark expertise. It primarily covers social and labor market issues. An example of the Foundation’s experience in comparative health system analysis is the eight-country study “Reforming the Health Sector,” edited by Esche, Böcken and Butzlaff (Gütersloh 2000). The success of both projects underscored the need and the potential demand for timely and regular information on health policy issues in countries with similar socioeconomic patterns. To this end, the Foundation established a separate monitoring tool, the International Network Health Policy & Reform. The International Network Health Policy and Reform Since 2002, the International Network has brought together health policy experts of 16 countries from around the world to report on current health reform issues and health policy developments in their countries. Geared toward implementation, the purpose of the Network is to narrow the gap between research and policy, providing timely information on what works and what doesn’t work in health policy reform. Participating countries were chosen from a German perspective; we specifically looked at countries with relevant reform experience to enrich the debate in this country. 9
Partner institutions were selected taking into account their expertise in health policy and management, health economics, or public health. Our network is interdisciplinary; our experts are economists, political scientists, physicians or lawyers. Many of them have considerable experience as policy advisers, others in international comparative research.
