“…It is crucial to renew the policy diffusion literature in terms of examining validity and the effect of variables either in a multiparty system or in a country without slack resources (Walker, 1969). Federalist countries, such as Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Germany, have experienced the policy diffusion process with the research appearing to have been done from a comparative perspective (Porto de Oliveira and Faria, 2017;Hassenteufel et al, 2017;Kuhlmann et al, 2019;Abel, 2019). As indicated by Rogers (1995), the rate of adoption of innovation is influenced by: i) perceived attributes of innovation; ii) types of innovation-decision; iii) communication channels; iv) the nature of social systems; and v) the extent of the change agent's promotion efforts.…”

“…The recent development of a research agenda on policy transfer has been favored by the processes of globalization and regionalization, as stressed by different authors (Evans and Davies, 1999;Stone 1999Stone , 2004Hassenteufel et al, 2017;Porto de Oliveira and Faria, 2017). One of the main challenges of this agenda has been to differentiate concepts such as transfer, diffusion and convergence (Stone, 2004;Dolowitz, 2017;Porto de Oliveira and Faria, 2017). Dolowitz and Marsh (1996:344) describe policy transfer as processes by which knowledge about policies, institutions and ideas in a past or current reality is used in the development of policies, administrative norms, institutions and ideas in another political scenario.…”

Artigo O artigo investiga o papel das instituições do Mercosul no processo de transferência de políticas entre os Estados--membros em três áreas específicas: educação, saúde e migração. O argumento principal é que essas instituições tornaram-se espaços formadores de políticas públicas, atuando como facilitadoras da transferência de políticas nos três casos empíricos examinados. O artigo pretende contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estudos empíricos de transferência de políticas públicas nos processos de integração regional. Os blocos regionais criam espaços de articulação de ideias e trocas de experiências entre os gestores de políticas públicas. A metodologia envolveu análise de documentos oficiais do bloco e entrevistas. Apesar do seu caráter intergovernamental e da sua baixa institucionalização, o Mercosul desempenhou funções importantes no processo de formulação de políticas públicas nacionais nas três áreas selecionadas na pesquisa.

“…Policy diffusion is a fast-growing field, especially in the areas of public policy analysis and the study of international relations (Graham et al, 2013). The literature has produced various research traditions that can be synthesised as policy transfer, policy diffusion, and policy circulation, according to the approaches and epistemological assumptions used by a variety of authors in this field of research (Porto de Oliveira and Pimenta de Faria, 2017). Despite some subtle differences, all of these traditions are analysing the same phenomenon; that is, the movement of a political object in time and space.…”

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 international organisations began to recommend Brazilian social policies. Examples of Brazilian policies that have been transferred are the Family Allowance and the National School Feeding Programs. How has Brazil moved from importing foreign institutions to becoming a Southern country reference in terms of social policies? The main argument here is that Brazil, while building itself into a rising power, has developed new patterns of policy transfers that have so far been overlooked by the field literature. Through a process-tracing analysis of Brazil’s social policy diffusion, we have been able to identify different forces that facilitate these transfers, such as a quest for international legitimacy, the role of “policy ambassadors,” the joint efforts of various national institutions, Brazilians occupying positions in international organisations, and the creation of institutions designed for these policy transfers.
