Comparative policy analysis: Déjà vu all over again?

Abstract

During the 1970s and early 1980s, many policy analysts were engaged in comparative policy analysis. For a variety of reasons, the most important of which being a general neglect of the particular policy contexts, the use of comparative policy analysis fell largely into disuse. There are now a number of emerging reasons why a renaissance in comparative policy analysis seems much more propitious: a growing number of transnational policy issues; advances in communication technologies, such that physical distances have been “virtually” eliminated; and new conceptual bases. All of these combine to produce a new demand for comparative policy studies.
