“…Another strand of diffusion research focuses more on the internal resources and obstacles to diffusion. For example, slack resources allow states to be more innovative (Boehmke and Skinner 2012a), more professionalized legislatures have greater capacity for innovation (Squire 2012), initiatives can pave the way for and legitimize new ideas (Hannah and Mallinson 2018), and liberal and Democratic states are expected to be more innovative (Matisoff 2008). Divided government, on the other hand, can stifle innovation via gridlock (Sellers 2017).…”

Research on how policies diffuse throughout the American federal system is robust and vast, but there has yet to be a systematic accounting for its results. Using a systematic review and metaanalysis, this study presents the most comprehensive analysis to date of how policy innovation flows state-to-state and the average effects of commonly used variables in the study of policy diffusion (e.g., neighbor adoptions, ideological distance between states, legislative professionalism, and more). Additionally, heterogeneity in these effects is examined across regulatory, morality, and governance policy types. The study not only reveals what we know about policy diffusion after 30 years of quantitative analysis, it identifies several correctable gaps in the literature. The results not only support the efforts to expand diffusion research to large-n analyses, but they also reveal additional benefits of small-n event history studies for the progressive advancement of this important research program.

“…In fact, the first five initiatives (passed in 1996 and 1998) passed with less than 60 percent of the vote. 4 Analyzing the adoption of MMLs through 2014, Hannah and Mallinson (2018) found that states with direct democracy were three times as likely to adopt an MML, even after controlling for states' ideology, evangelical population, and neighbor adoptions.…”

Recent research by Hannah and Mallinson (2018) has demonstrated that the diffusion of MMLs spread in more liberal and less religious states, was aided by the direct initiative, and followed a pattern of ideological, rather than regional, diffusion. Surprisingly, they found little evidence that states were thwarted by actions from the federal government (Hannah & Mallinson, 2018). But as Karch (2007) notes, such broad studies have limitations.

“…To close this issue, our final two articles provide new means and methodologies for policy diffusion research (e.g., see Collingwood, El‐Khatib, and O’Brien, 2019; Hannah & Mallinson 2020; Mitchell, 2018). Boehmke et al (2020) address the current issue within policy diffusion research regarding the heavy reliance on case studies confined to single‐policy domains, an issue which confounds generalization.…”

Editorial Research TeamWelcome to PSJ's second issue of 2020. We hope that you are all healthy, safe, and finding ways to thrive in what has so far proven to be a tumultuous and difficult year. Despite the exponential spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the resultant tragedies befalling our communities, we here at the PSJ have been fortunate to be able to maintain our usual publication schedules and timelines. For our readers, that means 12 first-rate peer-reviewed articles. We hope they offer a reprieve from the uncertainties and trying circumstances that many of you are facing. Before discussing these articles in detail, however, we would like to take this moment to first share our sincerest gratitude for your continued support and assistance. In 2019, more than 6,600 institutions worldwide subscribed to PSJ's content and nearly 300,000 full-text PSJ articles were downloaded and read. During the year, we processed more than 500 manuscripts, including nearly 300 new submissions. Our overall manuscript acceptance rate in 2019 was 13 percent. Typically, we were able to make desk decisions within two weeks. For those manuscripts sent out for review, our reviewers were generally able to provide feedback within three weeks. Here we owe a special thanks to our editorial board, which we aspire to have involved with every manuscript that moves through the PSJ's review process. We interpret these data as indicators of PSJ's continued recognition by the policy community as the premier venue for policy theory, where researchers send their best work and have
