Not all “networks” deserve this name, in Public Health and
beyond.
Interorganisational networks are a particular organisational form, a means
for institutions to jointly achieve complex goals in fast changing
environments.
The field of Health Promotion did spearhead a network approach: to implement
the settings approach on a large scale without compromising participation.
Yet, the systematic assessment of the networks received little research
attention. This
book responds:
It presents current research knowledge, explains network and health
promotion approach alike; offers a practical network assessment tool; and
pays particular attention to European and national networks for Health
Promoting Schools and similar settings.
