“…Although the subfields within research on policy entrepreneurs cover many aspects of policy entrepreneurship among public administrators, in terms of what policy entrepreneurs tend to do, i.e. behave and act (Hysing, 2014;Hysing & Olsson, 2011;Olsson, 2009;Olsson & Hysing, 2012;Petridou & Olausson, 2017), the impact of formalization of the policy entrepreneurial role as a governance instrument has not been investigated.…”

Policy entrepreneurs and their role for policy change, policy integration and cross-cutting governance has been thoroughly investigated. Here, focus is on a previously neglected aspect of policy entrepreneurship: the tendency to employ public bureaucrats with formal positions to act as policy entrepreneurs for policy integration. Based on 34 interviews with these actors in the Swedish local and regional government, three versions of this formalized policy entrepreneurship are identified: Informal compensation for formal vertical flaws, Making others do things and Integration in the vertical formal organization. These versions of formalized policy entrepreneurship brings a deeper understanding to the development of governance for policy integration, and also to the policy entrepreneurial role in the political-administrative organization.

“…Worth to note that there were three past studies focused on European policy (Karini, 2017;Dabrowski, Musialkowska, & Polverari, 2018a;Dabrowski, Musialkowska, & Polverari, 2018b), two studies originated from policy experience in United States of America -USA (Bauer, 2010;Stone, de Oliveira, & Pal, 2019), and another two studies from United Kingdom -UK (Keating & Cairney, 2012;Dolowitz, 2017). The remaining articles were derived from Australia (Walker, 2019), Brazil (de Oliveira & Pal, 2018, China (Zhang & Yu, 2019), Germany (Barabasch, 2010), Indonesia (Nugroho, Zuiderwijk, Janssen, & de Jong, 2015), Malaysia (Siddiquee, 2010), Netherlands (Minkman, van Buuren, & Bekkers, 2018), and Sweden (Petridou & Olausson, 2017) with each country had published an article on policy transfer.…”

Policy transfer is not a new concept in public policy or political science research. However, there are many misconceptions about policy transfer from past scholars which fragmented policy understanding among political scientists and researchers. Hence, this paper aims to shed light on the basic concept of policy transfer and add value to the current literature especially in an academic context. This paper employed secondary data from the past ten years (2010-2020) derived from selected published resources of reputable databases specifically Scopus and ScienceDirect. There are four main stages in Systematic Literature Review (SLR) namely; (1) Pre-SLR, (2) Identification, (3) Screening, and (4) Eligibility. After considering the relevant articles from prior searching activities, 15 articles were reviewed systematically. Accordingly, five themes emerged to conclude the concept of policy transfer based on thematic analysis. This paper concludes with a summary of policy transfer discussion for future research and implications for policymakers were presented.

“…Regardless, a networked structure implies that several actors have a seat at the table and that policymaking is not the sole purview of the formal governmental entities. The context in which we observe the networks makes a difference: in pluralistic systems several actors vie for resources in a competitive environment, whereas in corporatist systems the actors are fewer, more organized, with a formal seat at the policymaking table (Adam & Kriesi, 2007;Petridou, 2017). In the subsection that follows, we discuss the specificities of a policy network approach in tourism policy, paying special attention to the island context.…”

Following its achievement of Self-Rule status in 2009 Greenland embarked on a series of measures to diversify its economy with an eye towards eventually gaining full independence from Denmark. Tourism was underlined as a key sector for reaching this goal and, consequently, over the last few years there has been a concerted effort to develop the island as an important polar destination. Significantly, the Greenlandic government created the tourism development policy for 2016-2020, which it views as a key instrument for shaping the sector's future. In this paper, we adopted a policy network approach to determine the relational architecture among various stakeholders from the public and private sectors who are seen as relevant to tourism's development. Inter alia, we examined how these actors were linked to each other while examining what kind of tourism networks existed in Greenland and what obstacles might hinder or foster their formation. A thematic analysis of qualitative data on Atlas.ti reveals that though there exist networks in the Greenlandic tourism sector, they are not policy networks and that the Greenlandic government's approach to developing this tourism policy has been top-down, reflecting a 'government' rather than a 'governance' approach. Barriers to the formation of policy networks included lack of a shared image for the future; lack of trust among actors; lack of time and spatial fragmentation hindering iterative interactions, and lack of institutional enabling of information and knowledge sharing.
