"Altensetter's book is a model of serious and searching scholarship...reflecting enormous research and detailed exploration of the complex politics of regulating medical devices. A case study of EU policymaking...it is also a classic insurance of the differences between what is announced and what is implemented." --Ted Marmor, author of The Politics of Medicare ".....this study of the forces and issues in the implementation of regulations of heart valves, operating tables, knee and joint implants, high-tech scanners, patient monitoring machines and ten thousand other devices, has the potential, if properly understood, of doing something that few academic studies have accomplished and that is, saving lives." --Irving Leonard Markovitz, Professor of Political Science, City University of New York
