Brazil and China in Knowledge and Policy Transfer

Beschreibung

This is an exemplary comparative volume on two of the 21^st century’s most important countries: Brazil and China. Chapter authors meticulously overturn the ill-informed Western narrative that policy transfer, by design, originates in the West.

Kim Moloney, Assistant Professor of Public Policy, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar

This exciting new book brings together an impressive array of internationally recognised scholars to address the growing influence of Brazil and China in the international arena... Anyone interested in policy transfer, lesson drawing and how these processes are operating outside of the global north should read this text.

David P. Dolowitz, Professor of Politics, University of Liverpool, UK

This book examines knowledge and policy transfer from the perspectives of Brazil and China. It assesses how these two nations have emerged as providers of ideas and models that contribute to the global offer of public policies. With a variety of case studies in areas such as health, food security and infrastructure, the volume offers new insights into the distinct levels through which knowledge and policy transfers take place, including the local, regional, national and supranational. It develops a multidimensional framework of analysis that considers the agents, objects, and mechanisms for knowledge and policy transfer, as well as the structures and timings within which they operate. Unlike previous studies on policy transfer – which largely focus on North-North and North-South learning processes – this book offers an innovative approach to this area of study. By reflecting on the experiences of these two rising powers, it provides fresh insights on the future of knowledge and policy transfer as global power dynamics shift. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to students and scholars of policy transfer, development studies, international relations and publicpolicy.

“This is an exemplary comparative volume on two of the 21^st century’s most important countries: Brazil and China. Chapter authors meticulously overturn the ill-informed Western narrative that policy transfer, by design, originates in the West. In case after case, this volume highlights how China and Brazil’s financial, social, education, and infrastructure policies along with their aid and foreign policies originate policies which transfer beyond their region and to the rest of the world.” (Kim Moloney, Assistant Professor of Public Policy, College of Public Policy, Hamad Bin Khalifa University)

“The book organized by Osmany Porto de Oliveira and Giulia C. Romano not only offers innovative frameworks to understand policy transfer from the perspective of the South, it also illuminates the reader with diverse understandings of the politics that underpins the challenges of policy transfer from different countries such as Brazil and China to otherdeveloping nations.” (Carlos R. S. Milani, Institute for Social and Political Studies, Rio de Janeiro State University)

“This exciting new book brings together an impressive array of internationally recognised scholars to address the growing influence of Brazil and China in the international arena.  What sets this text apart from others interested in BRICS is its focus on the way China and Brazil have used soft power, through horizontal and vertical policy transfer, to bring about change.  The chapters neatly develop the picture of two nations using transfer to actively alter (in conjunction with importing individuals, institutions and systems) the paradigms and policies that dominated the global discourses (particularly in relation to a number of African nations) over the course of 20^th century. Anyone interested in policy transfer, lesson drawing and how these processes are operating outside of the Global North should read this text.” (David P. Dolowitz, Professor of Politics, University of Liverpool)
