Presenter Tatyana Sklyar Abstract We consider the development of self-regulation in the Russian health care industry. The empirical part of our research is based on in-depth interviews with executives of self-regulated organisations (SRO) as well as survey of their members – providers of health care services – in St. Petersburg region. We apply Mancur Olson’s approach to stakeholders’ behaviour and theory of special interest groups to classify and then to study the process of SRO formation. We consider the examples of SRO as ‘privilidged’, ‘intermediary’ and ‘latent’ special interest groups. We also analyse the reasons that prevent health care providers from joining SROs and the role of SROs as stakeholders for medical organisations from the perspective of their potential as a threat as well as for cooperation.
