Policy transfer

Policy transfer is a process in which information relating to the operation of one political system is utilised by another political system.[1] While policies have always moved between political systems policy transfer has emerged as a study in and of itself since the mid 1990s with the publication of Who Learns What From Whom: A Review of the Policy Transfer Literature.[2] Since then the concept has been developed and applied by urban geographers under the label of mobiblities[3] by Jamie Peck and NikTheodore as Fast Policy[4] and those interested in global networks as policy translations.[5] Out of these literatures policy transfer has been applied to a range of policies running from zero tolerance policing, welfare-to-work and even Business Improvement Districts and the emergence of bike sharing programs.
