In a globalized world, political systems are not closed. International organizations, transnational actors and crossnational communication bring about a flow of policy ideas crossing the boundaries of nation-states. In this course, we will try to understand the diffusion and transfer of policies conceptually, empirically and practically. Thus, based on an discussion of basic concepts of policy analysis, we will gain an overview over the extent of diffusion. Taking the point of view of comparative public policy and administration, we will assume a more managerial attitude and explore possibilities for 'learning from abroad'. |
