Russell Prince investigates the concept of policy mobility in this concise and accessible book, demonstrating that policy change is not something that happens within a particular jurisdiction, but is a globally interconnected and ongoing process.

Focusing on conceptual foundations, Understanding Policy Mobility offers an extended comparison between policy mobility and policy diffusion and transfer. Chapters investigate the politics and power relations that drive policy change across space, highlighting how policies mutate as they travel. Arguing that policy mobility is a product of the ongoing transformation of policy territories, Prince examines policy as a method for managing and governing place. The book concludes by reflecting on the idea of global policy, and examining why it is important to study policy mobility.





This thought-provoking book is a critical read for human geography and critical policy studies scholars looking for a more in-depth understanding of policy mobility. It is also beneficial to students of urban studies, globalisation studies and the sociology of policy.

Recenzijas

In this book, Russell Prince skilfully illuminates the core value of studying policy mobilities: to understand policy making through diverse power relations, political settlements, and relational engagements with spatial practices. He demonstrates how policies are always emergent from a range of territorialised experimentation, yet they are never only local, intersecting with wider processes of world-building and policy infrastructures to influence and create diverse outcomes across places. -- Cristina Temenos, University of Manchester, UK Understanding Policy Mobility is a concise and clearly argued guide to the critical literature on global-relational policymaking. Thoughtful, incisive, and clear, the book suggests how to think about policy mobility as a socio-spatial and political process. It is an essential starting point for those interested in policy-makings role in world-making. -- Eugene McCann, Simon Fraser University, Canada With great clarity and insight, Russell Princes Understanding Policy Mobility not only explains why and how public policy ideas move, but why it matters. An indispensable guide through decades of scholarship, Prince compellingly argues that when policy moves, the world moves with it. -- Tom Baker, University of Auckland, New Zealand
