Biography
Roar Amdam is Professor Emeritus in Planning and Leadership at Volda University College, Norway.
This book provides an interesting new perspective to the study and practice of Health in All Policies. By applying a planning perspective together with Habermas’ theory on communicative action, Roar Amdam provides an insightful analysis of how to achieve institutional capacity and democratic legitimacy for HiAP. This perspective is particularly useful in local government where policy theory might be less suitable.
- Ditte Heering Holt, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark.
This book convincingly argues that the capacity and legitimacy of Health in All Policies depend on integrating communicative and collaborative forms of planning. Combining Habermasian and governance theory, Amdam highlights planning’s often-neglected political aspect, showing how political will formation depends on conscious management of a defined set of institutional activities and collaborative arenas as part of the planning process.
- Hege Hofstad, Research Professor, OsloMet, Norway.
The HiAP approach has been a driving force to improve the health and wellbeing of populations. This insightful book explains how the political will to support the use of this approach can be increased and its institutional capacity and democratic legitimacy enhanced through an innovative, collaboration and management planning model.
