Abstract This paper explores the relationship between federalism and the policy design of labour market policies in two liberal welfare state regimes – Canada and the United States – addressing the following research question: How do variations in policy design intersect with federalism in both countries and how can these variations provide powerful, self-reinforcing or self-undermining feedback effects over time? Combining the literatures on the varieties of federalism, the liberal welfare regime, and policy design and feedback, the paper shows that paying close attention to federalism is necessary to understand diverse national policy designs that produce self-reinforcing feedback effects over time.

Abstract With the growth of globalization, comparative policy analysis became increasingly challenging. The contemporary transnational nature of public policymaking processes, which encompasses policies, fundings, individuals, and organizations crossing borders, with its instruments and ideas, extends the logic of territorially circumscribed phenomena. Understanding these movements lies at the core of the fast-growing field of analysis: policy transfer, diffusion, mobilities, and circulation. The purpose of this Special Issue is to broaden and deepen the debate on the transnational circulation of policy models from a comparative perspective. This Special Issue proposes a comparative strategy of analysis for policy transfer that considers three elements: policy instruments, policy transfer spaces, and time. These elements are presented in detail in this introduction, providing an innovative perspective, updating and expanding the classical policy transfer framework posited by Dolowitz and Marsh over two decades ago. This Special Issue brings together original research articles, prepared by diverse group of authors from different regions around the world (from both Global North and South).

Abstract Inside the wave of diffusion of Conditional Cash Transfer in Latin America is possible to observe the transfer of instruments of the programs from one country to another. The article develops a comparative analysis of Chile’s psychosocial support transfer to Paraguay, Colombia, and Guatemala. The dimensions of analysis are instruments, time and policy space; the information was collected from primary and secondary sources. The findings show two positive cases – the instrument was adopted – and one negative. Furthermore, it shows the relevance of the stages of the diffusion wave and the particularities of the Social Policy Space in explaining the characteristics of the transfer process.

Abstract Global programmes (GPs) are crucial actors in transnational policy transfer but understudied in literature. The paper explores GP policy transfer in terms of instruments, space, and time from a comparative perspective. Employing a thematic analysis of policy/programme files and using the GP to prevent gender-biased sex selection as a case study, the paper compares implementation across diverse countries and regions. It finds similar policies and ideas are transferred, across scales, sectors, and actors throughout the policy cycle. Yet short programme cycles contradict longer timeframes needed to assess sex-selection policies and interventions to change social norms.

Abstract The spread of the Grameen Bank microfinance model has received global attention. The article discusses when and how the model traveled “North”. It finds that both specialized actors, such as policy ambassadors, and permissive local contexts were crucial in these adoptions. The US seemed more permissive, partly due to network ties and because of a neoliberal approach to social policy together with a strong focus on gender norms. In Europe, however, reception differed. The adoption of the Grameen model thus offers interesting insights into the South–North policy transfer of social innovations.
