<i>'This book offers an intelligent and insightful account of the development of nursing home regulation in three countries - England, the USA and Australia. But, more than that, it intertwines theory and more than a decade of empirical work to provide a telling and sophisticated explanation of why and how good regulatory intentions often go awry, and what can be done to create systems of regulation which really work to produce improvement.'</i>
