Policy Laboratories of the Federal State?: The Role of Intergovernmental Cooperation in Health Policy Diffusion in Switzerland

Katharina Füglister

doi:10.5771/9783845243603

Summary

Nach der states-as-policy-laboratories Metapher fördert Föderalismus politisches Lernen. Doch wie diffundieren Politikinhalte und wie wird politisch relevante Information verbreitet? Indem die Autorin Interdependenzen zwischen Gesundheitspolitikern in der Schweiz analysiert, zeigt sie auf, wie politische Entscheidungsträger in zwischenstaatlichen Netzwerken voneinander lernen.
