Description:
International conflict behaviour is caused by: opposing interests and capabilities (or specific sociocultural differences and similarities between parties), contact and salience (awareness), significant change in the balance of powers, individual perceptions and expectations, a disrupted structure of expectations and a will to conflict (www.hawaii.du/pwerkills). REcent international conflicts between Western and Muslim societies appear to result from a combination of these factors, most specifically from opposing interests and potential changes in the balance of powers - going forward, these drivers appear to remain largely intact which should thus likely result in a continuation or even increase in international conflicts of Western countreis against muslim nations.
Enablers:
o The increase of health care cost will urge the government to introduce more efficient, market oriented systems. The current Dutch government adagio is “market where possible, and only intervene when necessary
o In the current budget system all capital expenditures are separately funded and guaranteed by government. As from 2012 hospitals will be fully responsible for their income and production (WTZi).
o The new hospital financing system (DBC’s) makes differences between hospitals in price and quality visible. By that competition between hospitals will increase
Inhibitors:
o The evolution of the current parliamentary democracy. Will the Dutch parliament be able to let loose, or will it intervene as it does now.
o The convergence of European health care market systems. Will the EU formulate a policy on health care market systems? So far, the EU has only intervened in food security, labor market and border crossing health care consumption.
Paradigms:
The fundamental shift in thinking is the transformation from a regulated system, like in most other European countries to a much more market oriented system in which government has much less control and market forces will drive development.
