Far more research is needed on the process of interdependent decision-making in the world polity.National Policy-Making: Domestication of Global Trends offers a unique set of hybrid cases which straddle these disciplinary and conceptual divides. The volume brings together well-researched case studies of policy-making from across the world, which speak to practical issues but also challenge current theories of global influence in local policies. Distancing itself from approaches which conceive narrowly of policy transfer as a 'one-way street' from powerful nations to weaker ones, this book argues instead for an understanding of national decision-making processes that emphasise cross-national comparisons and domestic field battles around the introduction of worldwide models.
