Coda (“Lessons from COVID”) is clearly written and convincing. Overall, one can appreciate the effort it takes to compare a large set of countries with interviews, fieldwork, and observatory methods. The coverage of countries is impressive and clearly the researchers working for Emanuel made a significant contribution to this comparative effort (Mattei and Del Pino 2021). Having said this, the critique of quantitative ranking data and measurement is naïve, superficial, and broad-brush. One can identify two additional major flaws: first, the analysis lacks any methodological rigor; secondly, there are missing dimensions of comparison that seem important to readers; equity is not discussed, nor are digitalization and artificial intelligence (the US is still leading on these). It is not clear why the author has decided to exclude these key future challenges for comparative health-care systems, which are central to the scholarly debates (Marmor et al. 2009; Mattei 2016). Overall, the book offers an interesting text for readers who wish to learn some basic notions of OECD healthcare systems and compare them across different dimensions. The summarizing tables and concluding discussion deserve attention. However, this investigation does not do justice to the scholarly field of comparative health-care policy and the serious and rigorous analysis of lessons drawing from different countries.
结束语(“COVID的教训”)写得很清楚，令人信服。总的来说，通过访谈、实地考察和观察方法来比较一大批国家所付出的努力是值得赞赏的。国家的覆盖范围令人印象深刻，显然，为伊曼纽尔工作的研究人员为这一比较努力做出了重大贡献(Mattei和Del Pino 2021)。话虽如此，对定量排名数据和测量的批评是naïve、肤浅和笼统的。人们可以发现另外两个主要缺陷:首先，分析缺乏任何方法上的严谨性;其次，缺少对读者来说似乎很重要的比较维度;公平没有被讨论，数字化和人工智能也没有被讨论(美国在这些方面仍处于领先地位)。目前尚不清楚为什么作者决定排除比较医疗保健系统的这些关键未来挑战，这是学术辩论的核心(Marmor et al. 2009;加尼姆2016)。总的来说，这本书提供了一个有趣的文本为读者谁希望学习经合组织医疗保健系统的一些基本概念，并在不同的维度进行比较。总结表和结论性讨论值得注意。然而，这项调查没有公正地对待比较保健政策的学术领域以及对从不同国家吸取的经验教训进行认真而严谨的分析。

Abstract Before asking why countries vary, we should ask how they differ. Stressing variations in capitalism models, this article explores how regulatory regimes are related to underlying national institutions and politics. Using a stepwise comparative analysis of consumer credit data regimes in four countries, it underscores variation in two regulatory dimensions: the business restrictions between two clusters, the United States and Sweden vs. France and Israel; and the consumer empowerment within these clusters. The article concludes that grasping the regulatory state’s multidimensional character improves understanding of the regulatory process and underlines the continuity of national capitalist models in the era of regulatory capitalism.

Abstract This article attempts to explain the evolution of minimum wage levels in three East Asian economies: Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. A political-economic framework incorporating the levels of political competition and labor incorporation is suggested. With strong political competition and a lack of labor incorporation, South Korea exhibits the strongest minimum wage increase, followed by Taiwan with incorporated labor. Japan has the weakest minimum wage with uncompetitive politics and labor incorporation. The framework is supported by descriptive accounts of the three cases and supplemented by quantitative analysis. As a factor commonly viewed as less relevant for welfare development in the region, the impact of leftist governments is found to be conditional upon the level of political competition. This article contributes to the literature by providing a political-economic explanation of the minimum wage, as well as linking East Asia with the mainstream welfare state literature.

Abstract This study examines the configuration of conditions that trigger pro-environmental policy agenda setting (PAS) in an uncertain social context. It discusses the suitability and explanatory power of Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) in this context. It employs the MSF and implements a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis on 25 pro-environmental cases in China. The results indicate that the seven solutions that could be recombined into three successful driven patterns may trigger the establishment of China’s pro-environmental policy agenda. China’s pro-environmental PAS does not require the complete collection of conditions for all three streams.

Abstract It is increasingly recognized that various competencies are needed for education systems in the developing world to succeed in fulfilling SDG4. However, reform efforts are often hampered by a lack of conceptual clarity regarding what these competencies are and how they matter. This article fills the gap by developing a comprehensive conception of policy capacity to explain the educational outcomes in two states in Brazil. The comparative case analysis reveals how variations in analytical, operational and political capacity are the differentiating factor behind their variegated reform effectiveness. While these findings put a cautionary note over the viability of copying policy interventions without considering their capacity underpinnings, they also show how a synergized combination of these three dimensions of capacity can lead to remarkable improvement of educational outcomes despite unfavorable socioeconomic conditions.

Abstract Why do some developing countries develop generous welfare state regimes (WSR), while others do not? Which factors lead to varieties in welfare regimes in developing countries? We explain the development of different welfare state regimes (WSR) in the Global South based on the findings of WSR classification. We conduct inductive typological theory on the basis of the structure-institution-agency (SIA) framework and use positive and negative cases selected through a Most-Different-Systems-Design. Our analysis shows that a developing country that satisfies three necessary but insufficient conditions (1. having implemented a prolonged ISI period, 2. having experienced organized contentious politics of the poor, and 3. having developed adequate state capacity) is anticipated to have developed a Populist Welfare State Regime that is more generous and extensive than other welfare state regimes in the Global South. This article contributes to the long-standing debates of Southern WSRs by taking a nuanced and interactive approach that considers the interactions among structures, institutions, and political agency.

Abstract Comparative policy analysis is at the heart of research that attempts to understand how policies travel. Most of the literature on policy transfer had been developed using the empirical background of policies migrating within the Global North or from there to developing countries. Studying policies that migrate within the Global South is relevant from a theoretical perspective, insofar as it allows us to identify new dynamics, agents and mechanisms involved in policy transfers. This article analyzes two Brazilian policies that have been diffused around the globe: The Family Allowance Program and the Food Purchase Program. This research explores how these policies have been internationalized and what conditions have facilitated this process. To explain this movement, we combine the study of individuals, domestic and international organizations, political structures and change. We argue that individuals have been fundamental to internationalizing Brazilian policies. They have benefitted from both national and international structures and organizations that have facilitated the diffusion of policies that they have promoted abroad. This study relies on field work carried out in Brazil, Chile and Italy. We use a process-tracing strategy to reconstruct the pathways of diffusion.

Abstract Agents, acting strategically as institutional entrepreneurs, utilise narratives that resonate with both the structure and institutions to promote change. The hypothesis in this article holds that if they intend to be successful, agents must behave strategically by taking into account the different policy domains and the dominant ideas therein. At the same time, the narratives of the institutional entrepreneur should take into careful consideration the various enabling conditions that may occur at multiple levels. The use of narratives are compared for two reforms – the “Jobs Act” and the “Buona Scuola – Good School” – formulated by the Italian government between 2014 and 2015.

Abstract This study examines the emergence of European regulations to govern the collaborative economy, a new sector of the economy made possible by digital platforms. The concept gained common usage among stakeholders and European officials, but only partially due to the efforts of ideational entrepreneurs to promote the concept. Contingent factors that were structurally embedded in the policy process also had an impact. Most notably, actions taken by authorities in other European Union institutions who were disengaged from the discourse had a major impact on the way the collaborative economy was defined. This study shows how competing institutional logics and turnover in personnel make it difficult for policy entrepreneurs to control the framing of a policy discourse in an environment with multiple actors.

Abstract This article illustrates an analytic eclectic value of structure, institution and agency (SIA) framework in comparative public policy. It engages and utilizes certain structural, institutional and agential perspectives from past literature to specify how elements of their causal properties coexist as part of a more complex argument. It argues that desired or preferred policy and/or institutional outcomes are most likely when multiple structural and institutional complementarities (from structures and institutions to agents) and multiple structural, institutional and agential enabling conditions accompany one another in motivating and empowering actors (from agents to structures and institutions) to engage in purposeful agential actions.
