{"title":"Reconceptualizing transfer pathways: policy transfer and armed UAV proliferation","authors":"Stephen Ceccoli","doi":"10.1080/01442872.2023.2271419","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01442872.2023.2271419","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTWhile policy transfer remains a widely used approach for understanding public policy formation, several conceptual shortcomings limit the approach’s capacity for explanation. Notably, the concept of “transfer pathway” lacks a precise conceptual definition and empirical specification, limitations reflecting broader gaps in the policy transfer literature. This article contributes to the study of policy transfer by explicitly defining transfer pathway and demonstrating how a more expansive transfer pathway conceptualization can increase analytical granularity. Conceptual insights developed here are empirically applied to U.S. State Department announcements in late 2020 to sell armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), first to the United Arab Emirates and then Morocco. Such cases illustrate two novel transfer pathways, the tortuous pathway and the foreign policy pathway, offering a sketch of how governments transfer policies in the foreign and security policy domain. By employing process tracing, specific causal process observations associated with the arms transfer processes in each instance can be identified to better understand specific transfer outcomes.KEYWORDS: Policy transfertransfer pathwayUAVarms salesforeign policy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Different “objects” subject to transfer include abstract objects (e.g., ideas, ideologies, discourses) as well as more concrete ones (e.g., policy designs and instruments, administrative regulations, governing structures).2 Citation figures as of September 2023.3 Newmark’s “diffusion continuum” identifies policy diffusion and policy convergence, respectively, as the broadest forms of denoting policy spread, followed by policy transfer. Per Newmark, policy transfer is a “more specific form of policy diffusion” since it accounts for when “conscious knowledge of policy is used in policy development elsewhere” (Citation2002, 171).4 Reviews by Newmark (Citation2002), Knill (Citation2005), Marsh and Sharman (Citation2009) and Stone (Citation2012) detail the complementary nature of diffusion and policy transfer.5 Along with policy mobilities, geographers and sociologists have also sought to build on policy transfer logic by developing notions of policy assemblages, mutations and circulation (McCann and Ward Citation2013; Baker and Walker Citation2019).6 This contrasts with closed compound words (which omit the space between two source words), hyphenated words and portmanteaus.7 As a policy process theory, MSA’s “most valuable attribute” remains “its ability to deal with timing – that is, the joining together of circumstances at a particular point in time” (Howlett, McConnell, and Perl Citation2016, 279–280).8 Kingdon (Citation2003) uses the concept of ‘spillover’ to convey how success in one policy area creates opportunities for success in other policy areas.9 Between the FMS ($55 billion) and DCS ($115 billion) programs, the U.S. government","PeriodicalId":47179,"journal":{"name":"Policy Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136351695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, that term is imprecise and unhelpful for rigorous analysis of what has, and has not, happened. This paper uses the lens of policy transfer to explore this issue, which provides a sharper insight into policy development. The paper examines the relevance of the Dolowitz and Marsh framework for the study of policy transfer from the US to the British NHS from 1979 onwards. In terms of the framework’s main research questions, the discussion of the potential US influence on the NHS case stresses the role of policy entrepreneurs in policy transfer. In terms of policy success, however, commentators suggest a mix of uninformed, incomplete, or inappropriate transfer. We conclude that Dolowitz and Marsh do provide a useful framework that asks relevant questions about policy transfer, which provides a more nuanced account of policy transfer from the US to the NHS than the crude term “Americanization”.","PeriodicalId":47179,"journal":{"name":"Policy Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135405820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
