In particular the book examines the link between politics and prevention. Did the varying political regimes influence the styles of precaution adopted? Or was it, as Peter Baldwin argues, a matter of more basic differences between nations, above all their geographic placement in the epidemiological trajectory of contagion, that helped shape their responses and their basic assumptions about the respective claims of the sick and of society, and fundamental political decisions for and against different styles of statutory intervention? Thus the book seeks to use medical history to illuminate broader questions of the development of statutory intervention and the comparative and divergent evolution of the modern state in Europe. 517 3 $aContagion & the State in Europe, 1830-1930 606 $aNational health services$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCommunicable diseases$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aNational health services$xHistory 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xHistory 676 $a614.4/4/09409034 700 $aBaldwin$b Peter$f1956-$0544177 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778869903321 996 $aContagion and the state in Europe, 1830-1930$93854569 997 $aUNINA
