Between Bureaucracy and Community
Abstract
This article explores how collaboration operates as both a concept and a practice in the post-socialist public health systems of Serbia and Croatia. Drawing on ethnographic research and expert interviews, it identifies diverse, often conflicting forms of collaboration. By tracing continuities and ruptures with Yugoslav social medicine, the article argues for reflexive, power-aware forms of partnership in contemporary health governance.
