In a globalized world, political systems
are not closed. International organizations, transnational actors and
cross-national 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 a discussion of basic
concepts of policy analysis, we will gain an overview of the extent of
diffusion. Taking the point of view of comparative public policy and
administration, we will assume a more managerial attitude in the second
part of the course and explore possibilities for 'learning from abroad'.
