This title provides insights into the empirical experiences of countries adopting policy institutions from other countries, in order to improve the performance or legitimacy of their own institutional structures. Both students of public and private administration, planning, political science, political geography, and comparative law recognise this issue as of high and increasing relevance. The volume presents a conceptual framework to grasp the potentials and limitations of institutional transplantation and features a collection of characteristic case studies drawn from 14 different countries on the actual process of institutional transplantation. These accounts cover a large variety of institutions including spatial and transport planning, education, housing, welfare, privatisation and political representation. The concluding chapter provides an overview of the advantages and dangers involved in adopting foreign policy institutions and the state of the art of our understanding of policy transfer and lesson-drawing in the context of the relevant academic disciplines.

'System innovation' is a radical change of institutions, structures and values concerning one or more entire sectors.This publication from the Consultative Committee of Sectorcouncils for Research and Development in the Netherlands draws conclusions about the possible role of governments when 'system innovation' is predominantly emergent, questioning the popular idea of proactive governments in realizing system innovations. The main conclusion drawn is that highly process-oriented governments should focus on creating favourable conditions for system innovations instead of concentrating on content areas where these innovations might take place.Three examples of realized 'system innovations' are examined:· The privatization of British Rail,· The explosive development of a biotech- industry around Boston (USA), and· The realization of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Program (South Florida, USA).It emerges from these case studies that many themes arise consistently, including the role of knowledge, the way initiators deal with social resistance and the role of public- private interaction. The authors show that even seemingly well designed 'system innovations' contain many emergent elements and often lead to unforeseeable and unmanageable dynamics.
