This new book presents a clear conceptual framework for
understanding the transfer of policy ideas between EU states,
together with an empirical study of regulatory change within
European utilities.
Policy transfer is a new instrument for understanding EU
policy-making. This volume shows how the nature of institutions,
interdependence between trans-national and national jurisdictions
and social systems, relate policy actors across geographical
boundaries, identifying four basic types of EU policy transfer and
learning:
'uploading'- how member states compete to shape the EU agenda in
line with their own institutional arrangements and policy
preferences
'downloading'- how states adapt to changing EU incentives and
constraints
'socialization' - how EU policy norms are internalized in the
belief systems of domestic actors
'information exchange' between national actors in the course of EU
interactions leading to a horizontal diffusion of policy ideas.
The authors use an institutionalist perspective to show how these
forms of policy transfer operate across the diverse systems of
governance found across the EU.
Policy Transfer in European Union Governance will be of great
interest to students and scholars of European Union politics and
policy, comparative public policy and political economy.
