“…In a more comprehensive manner, Solingen (:632) identifies the (i) stimulus; (ii) medium; (iii) social agents; and (iv) outcomes as the four main elements of diffusion processes. So far, much of the diffusion literature in International Relations (IR) and closely related disciplines has focused on the outcome dimension of diffusion, explaining patterns of convergence or isomorphism (for example, Marcussen ; Simmons, Dobbin, and Garrett ; Jakobi ) . In fact, the notion of increasing similarities between prior and later adopters is inherent to the concept of diffusion as it is frequently used in the literature (Elkins and Simmons :2; Ovodenko and Keohane :524).…”

Convergence More or Less: Why Do Practices Vary as They Diffuse?

Much of the diffusion literature in international relations, international political economy, and comparative public policy focuses on explaining patterns of convergence among states, international organizations, and transnational organizations. This literature suggests that full or complete convergence is not a necessary or even likely outcome of diffusion processes. However, as of yet, findings of varying degrees of convergence remain largely context‐specific and a more general and systematic review of the mechanisms explaining “how much” convergence occurs is still missing. To address this gap, this article offers a state‐of‐the‐art review of studies describing and explaining the phenomenon. On that basis, we trace the occurrence of varying degrees of convergence back to differences in (i) the nature of the underlying diffusion model; (ii) the specificity of the diffusion item; (iii) the type of diffusion mechanism in operation; and (iv) the institutional context at the point of adoption.

“…In a similar vein, Drezner modestly describes his own paper as a 'plausibility probe'. And in the papers by Marcussen (2005) and Albrecht and Arts (2005), the question of causality is explored, but the evidence offered is, I am sure they will agree, of a suggestive rather than a conclusive nature. To conclude, this special issue does underline the need for clarity in the definition of variables and it goes some (but not all) of the way towards testing them empirically.…”

Policy convergence: a passing fad or a new integrating focus in European Union studies?

Policy convergence is an established theme in comparative political analysis. Policy convergence research certainly has the potential to add a fresh perspective to a surprisingly large number of active debates within European Union (EU) studies, such as those concerning Europeanization, globalization, policy transfer and 'new' modes of co-ordination. However, it remains a very heterogeneous research field, dominated by American comparativists. With some exceptions, the term does not (at least yet) excite as much interest among scholars of the EU as perhaps it could. This commentary seeks to assess the extent to which the papers in this special issue succeed in fashioning the broad issue of policy convergence into a cumulative and enduring body of work within EU scholarship. It finds that they do a great deal to define key terms and explanatory variables. However, the contributors concede the need to do much more to address the vexed question of causality and to feed their work into the mainstream of EU scholarship.

“…Yet the 2008 global financial crisis brought back Central Banks to the fore. We also need to take into account that since the 1990s, Central Banks have become more politically independent (Cukierman 1992;Kapstein 1992;Eijffinger and de Haan 1996;Maxfield 1998;Marcussen 2005). Thus, keeping, or bringing back, banking supervision in the Central Bank may also ensure greater insulation from political pressure.…”

The series maps the range of disciplines addressing the study of European public administration. In particular, contributions to the series will engage with the role and nature of the evolving bureaucratic processes of the European Union, including the study of the EU's civil service, of organization aspects of individual institutions such as the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the External Action Service, the European Parliament, the European Court and the European Central Bank and of inter-institutional relations among these and other actors. The series also welcomes contributions on the growing role of EU agencies, networks of technical experts and national officials, and of the administrative dimension of multilevel governance including international organizations. Of particular interest in this respect will be the emergence of a European diplomatic service and the management of the EU's expanding commercial, foreign, development, security and defence policies, as well as the role of institutions in a range of other policy areas of the Union.Beyond this strong focus of EU administrative governance, the series will also include texts on the development and practice of administrative governance within European states. This may include contributions to the administrative history of Europe, which is not just about rules and regulations governing bureaucracies, or about formal criteria for measuring the growth of bureaucracies, but rather about the concrete workings of public administration, both in its executive functions as in its involvement in policy-making. Furthermore the series will include studies on the interaction between the national and European level, with particular attention for the impact of the EU on domestic administrative systems.
