Transfer, Diffusion und Konvergenz: Konzepte und Kausalmechanismen

  • Chapter
Transfer, Diffusion und Konvergenz von Politiken

Auszug

Die Begriffe Politikkonvergenz, Politikdiffusion und Politiktransfer werden in der Literatur nicht immer klar voneinander abgegrenzt. Die daraus resultierende begriffliche — und möglicherweise auch analytische —Unklarheit erschwert bislang die Synthese der unter den verschiedenen Begriffen erarbeiteten konzeptionellen Ansätze und empirischen Ergebnisse und damit die Herausbildung eines übergreifenden Forschungsprogramms (Holzinger/Knill 2005; Tews 2005; Holzinger/Jörgens/Knill im Erscheinen). Ziel dieses einleitenden Beitrags ist es daher, die verwandten Konzepte Diffusion, Transfer und Konvergenz zusammenzuführen und für einander fruchtbar zu machen.
