Health Policies in Interwar Europe

Research into public health policies and hygiene instruction has been oriented traditionally in the national context and there is a rich historiography that analyses the development of health policies and systems in various European and American countries during the first decades of the 20th century. What is often ignored, however is the study of the great many connections and circulations of knowledge, people, technologies, artefacts and practices during that period between countries. This book redresses that balance.
