Policy Transfer: by Nur Afifah, Mpa

This document discusses the concept of policy transfer, which refers to the process where knowledge, policies, institutions, and ideas are adopted from one political setting and used in another. The key points are: 1. Policy transfer can occur voluntarily when actors seek solutions to problems, or through coercion when powerful actors force adoption. 2. Actors involved include politicians, bureaucrats, experts, pressure groups, and supra-national institutions. 3. Elements that can be transferred include goals, institutions, ideas/concepts, and administrative techniques. 4. Degrees of transfer range from direct copying to combinations of multiple policies or inspiration without direct adoption. 5. Transfer can lead to failure if done
