The International Transfer and Diffusion of Policy and Management Innovations: Some Characteristics of a New Order in the Making
By Levi-Faur and Vigoda-Gadot
Modern societies are going global and in this process are redefining the boundaries between the domestic and the external. In a "shrinking world" policy lessons are increasingly drawn on a cross-national basis rather than on specific national experience and are less and less constrained by cultural and geopolitical boundaries. The know-how of other nations is increasingly conceived as essential and relevant for the economic competitiveness of nations and for the welfare of their citizens. Epistemic communities, international organizations, and policy entrepreneurs thus transfer this 'know-how' to the domestic economic, political, and social settings that are often radically different from the original. The benefits, costs, and implications of these policy transfers are the subject of this book. Specialists in public policy, public administration, and public management have joined together to explore the role of policy transfers in the promotion of more reflective and efficient public policies across the world. In doing so they aim to advance our knowledge on the new conditions of management, administration, and policy in a global world.
