Expanding the frontiers of climate action research in Latin America
Latin America has experienced increasingly frequent extreme events, which have heightened the urgency of mitigation and adaptation efforts. The region offers a rich and complex context for examining how climate action, which involves a wide array of actors operating at multiple levels, is formulated and implemented across diverse political, social, and institutional settings. Yet research on climate action grounded in policy studies in Latin Amer…
Estudar as políticas públicas e as mudanças climáticas na América Latina
Studying public policies and climate change in Latin America
The issue of climate change is transversal and of global concern today.It is a superwicked problem (Levin et al., 2009), whose impacts cut across social, economic, environmental, and political dimensions, requiring coordinated and innovative governmental responses.In the international literature, there is a broad body of studies on climate policies, originating from different disciplines and interdisciplinary approaches.These works range from tec…
Expandindo as fronteiras da pesquisa em ação climática na América Latina
A América Latina tem enfrentado eventos extremos cada vez mais frequentes, o que intensificou a urgência de esforços de mitigação e adaptação. A região oferece um contexto rico e complexo para examinar como a ação climática é formulada e implementada em diferentes cenários políticos, sociais e institucionais. No entanto, as pesquisas sobre ação climática ancoradas nos estudos de políticas públicas na América Latina ainda são incipientes, limitand…
Brazil and China going global
Most research in policy transfer studies focused on cases of policies originating from the ‘Global North’. However, recently countries of the ‘Global South’ became sources of models. With the exception of a few studies, literature has not considered these developments. This paper aims at contributing to this direction, by proposing an agenda drawn from policy transfer studies as well as from the observation of Brazil’s and China’s engagement in p…
Incorporating Time into Policy Transfer Studies
The policy transfer literature has addressed the reasons, processes, and impacts of traveling policies. As some globally diffused policies enter their third decade of circulation, it becomes pertinent to ask: How does diffusion change over time? To examine the relevance of time for policy transfer studies, this article compares the long-lasting diffusion of Conditional Cash Transfers and of Participatory Budgeting. The analysis presented allows f…
Comparative Transfer Analysis
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, d…
Brazil and China in Knowledge and Policy Transfer
Comparing Pathways of Policy Internationalization
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 mechanis…
Policy transfer capacity
Contemporary policymaking has been characterized by both a progressive state involvement in the internationalization of domestic policies and the intensification of influence of global agendas which demand that states implement new practices posed by multilateral agencies. Policy transfer literature has focused on different aspects of actors’ agency, but there is lack of knowledge about the microdynamics of state capacities that enable policy tra…
Policy Transfer and International Organisations
This article discusses the complex relationship between the World Bank and the Brazilian government regarding the implementation of the Bolsa Família Program (Family Allowance Program) from 2004 onwards. The hypothesis is that there was an alignment of the agendas for combating hunger and poverty among the entities. This made it possible to transfer Brazilian instruments and experiences to the world through World Bank. Based on a triangulation te…
Global Public Policy studies
Globalisation has helped to intensify the international flow of people, information and policies. Following this process there has been increasing global concern regarding problems in areas such as immigration, health, poverty, among others. Various agents are transnationally engaged in common responses to these issues. The classic definition of public policies is related to actions undertaken by governments to solve the problems within their jur…
Brazilian Perspectives on Policy Transfer and South-South Cooperation
This paper introduces the dossier entitled 'Policy Transfer and South-South Cooperation'. Very often development cooperation programmes, particularly those labelled as part of South-South cooperation (SSC), use policy transfer as one of their key implementation tools. However, irrespective of cross-cutting dimensions and shared commonalities, both fields of practices have generated research traditions that have followed specific disciplinary (and…

Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting (PB) is one of the most celebrated models for social participation in urban governance. It was adopted by important metropolises, such as New York (USA), Paris (France), Lima (Peru), Chengdu (China), Maputo (Mozambique), and numerous small towns, numbering about 2,800 cases to date. PB was born in Porto Alegre in the south of Brazil in 1989 as a local experiment. The government of the Workers' Party, which ran the city cou…
Transnational policy transfer
The study of policy transfer initially focused on transfers and transmissions among developed countries or from developed countries to the developing world. Today the circulation of policy and knowledge has become more dense and complex. The articles in the special issue concentrate on the growing velocity of policy innovations spreading from the developing world to other parts of the developing as well as into developed countries and towards int…
Policy ambassadors
In the past decade, Brazil became a model for social policies, ‘exporting’ ideas and techniques to tackle issues on social participation, poverty and hunger mostly to Southern countries, but also to the Northern States. International policy diffusion is immersed in a complex web of relations established among a plethora of actors participating in various moments and spaces. How policies become models for exporting? Why Brazil was elected as a sho…
Brazil Exporting Social Policies
The importation of foreign models is part of Brazil’s institution building story, owing to its Portuguese colonisation and the influence of European countries and the United States. After the transition to democracy and the Constitution of 1988, the scenario began to change. The country developed social policy innovations that rose to a national scale when the Workers’ Party took office. These innovations started to spread globally, and internati…

International Policy Diffusion and Participatory Budgeting
This book explores the international diffusion of Participatory Budgeting (PB), a local policy created in 1989 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, which has now spread worldwide. The book argues that the action of a group of individuals called "Ambassadors of Participation" was crucial to make PB part of the international agenda. This international dimension has been largely overlooked in the vast literature produced by participatory democracy devices. The …

Research Traditions and the State of the Discipline in Brazil
The purpose of this article, that introduces the dossier titled “Policy Transfer, Diffusion and Circulation”, is, firstly, to present a simple and synthetic map of the field of studies of international policy diffusion, in order to situate the reader from Brazil and Latin America, as well as others interested from different regions. In its second section, the article presents a survey of the state of research on policy diffusion that has been pro…

Mecanismos da difusão global do Orçamento Participativo
Este artigo trata da difusão global do Orçamento Participativo (OP) brasileiro. Desenvolvido em Porto Alegre no final dos anos 1980, essa política de participação social foi adotada, nos dias atuais, por cerca de 2.800 governos. Procura-se responder às seguintes perguntas: como o OP passou de uma experiência local para uma referência global? Que mecanismos facilitaram esse movimento? E, por fim, de que maneira essa política de participação social…

Le transfert d'un modèle de démocratie participative
Si l'idée de faire participer la société aux discussions d'intérêt public n'est pas nouvelle, elle a acquis depuis quelques années une lisibilité particulière dans le débat politique et contribue, dans différents pays, à transformer sensiblement les pratiques de la démocratie. À cet égard, le budget participatif apparaît comme un cas emblématique et l'expérience menée sous l'égide du Parti des Travailleurs dans la ville brésilienne de Porto Alegr…
