Policy transfer analysis seeks to make sense of the cross-cultural transfer of knowledge about institutions, policies or delivery systems in an era of globalization. This volume evaluates how useful policy transfer analysis is as a descriptive, explanatory and prescriptive theory of policy change.

O autorze

Mark Evans is Director of the Australia-New Zealand School of Government’s Institute for Governance at the University of Canberra. Mark’s published research focuses on four areas of concern: public administration and public policy; policy analysis; evaluating the impact of processes of globalisation on domestic policy formation; and, post-war reconstruction and development. The research theme that binds all of these areas together is his interest in institution-building and processes of governance.
