Edited by Magdaléna Hadjiisky, Senior Lecturer in Political Science, Université de Strasbourg, France, Leslie A. Pal, Professor and Dean, College of Public Policy, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar and Christopher Walker, Australia and New Zealand School of Government, Australia<i>'The study of policy transfer has become one of the most vibrant and compelling research programs in contemporary social science. In this wide-ranging book, the authors help us make sense of the movement of policy from one place with a much needed assessment of the promises and pitfalls of transfer processes. This volume is thoughtful, authoritative and engaging; it is a must-read for researchers, commentators, government officials and everyone with an interest in the practicalities of transporting a ''good policy practice''.'</i>

This is the first book to analyze comparatively the micro-dynamics of transfer across regions, contrasting policy fields and multiple levels of governance. With authors from a wide range of disciplines such as law, development and policy studies, and various cases from Europe, Africa, Australia and South America, this book breaks new ground both theoretically and empirically. Unique to this work are the case studies examining policy transfer across countries within the Global North and Global South. This yields in-depth exploration of challenges and characteristics of transfer across emerging economies. Rooted in original research by policy specialists, this book provides fresh and arresting insights into the micro-dynamics as well as the macro-effects of policy transfer.
Offering the richest comparative analysis of policy transfer to date, this book has global appeal to academics and students of public policy. The diverse range of case studies will make this book invaluable to policy practitioners and public officials.
