Learning Across Time and Space: Richard Rose’s Work on Lesson-Drawing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Problem of Governing

Part of the book series: Executive Politics and Governance ((EXPOLGOV))

Abstract

As in the case of all other topics included in this volume, Richard Rose’s work on ‘lesson-drawing’ (a term he coined back in the early 1990s) has been tremendously influential in the public policy and administration fields. During the past 30 years, Rose’s ideas about how countries may—or should seek to—draw lessons from policy experiences in other jurisdictions have provided a fruitful source for researchers. Indeed, a quick look at Google Scholar shows thousands of articles and books citing Rose’s lesson-drawing approach (Rose 1991a, 1991b, 1993, 2002, 2003a, 2003b, 2004; Rose and Wignanek 1990).

The author would like to thank Professor Maira Vaca for her wonderful advice on this work and everything else; Professor Kensuke Takayasu and Seikei University’s Center for Asian and Pacific Studies’ staff for their generous hospitality and support while writing the chapter; Professors Ed Page and Guy Peters for their helpful comments and their kind invitation to contribute to this volume; and last, but not least, to Professor Richard Rose for taking the time to read these pages and clarify some points about his lesson-drawing approach.
