description |
There is considerable interest in how policies originating in one time or place are
adopted in other places and times. Explanations of this phenomenon have been
dominated by three approaches: policy diffusion, policy convergence and policy
transfer. This article demonstrates that each approach has both strengths and
weaknesses, and no approach can, on its own, does adequate explanatory justice
to the complexity of policy transfer from rich to poor countries. The article uses
the case of the transfer of telecommunications privatisation policy to Thailand to
show this complexity and focuses on the Telephone Organisation of Thailand
(TOT). The case is presented to support the argument that the interaction of
domestic and international actors among the unique structural features and
historical events of a particular place result in the modification of policies as they
move between countries and after they have arrived at their new destination. |
