      abstract = {Policy-making in public health is highly complex, which is  one reason why the behavioural turn is now playing a  significant role in this field. Against this backdrop, this  book aims to develop a theoretical understanding of how  policymakers take up public health challenges and how  policies change over the course of time. Accordingly, the  book reveals policy-makers' underlying assumptions, which  influence the way in which public policy seeks to promote  the health status of citizens. In a second step, the book  presents a typology of policy instruments and applies this  to the field of health promotion. This typology introduces  an option that adds behaviourally informed insights to the  toolbox of political analysis. Empirical evidence of  behavioural health policies can be found in various  countries around the world, and the book presents both  relevant country studies and examples from the supra- and  international level. Finally, the book discusses the  implications of the rise of behavioural health policies,  proposes a specific concept of health citizenship and  reviews state-citizen relations. The book is useful for  academics from health-related disciplines (e.g. political  science, sociology, public health), policy-makers,  practitioners and students. Benjamin Ewert is a social and  political scientist at Heidelberg School of Education,  Germany. There he is part of the research cluster Society &  Health. Benjamin is interested in theoretical and empirical  questions in the realm of public policy and public health.  He especially focuses on service users and citizenship  issues. Kathrin Loer is a political scientist at the  FernUniversitaet in Hagen, Germany. After working as a  political consultant in health policy she returned to  academia in 2013. Her research focuses on health and  consumer policies but also on theoretical topics in public  policy. Current research projects aim at linking  theoretical and conceptual questions of public policy with  empirical research on health and energy policy.},
