Public Policy Transfer in the Policy of Funding Political Parties: A Comparison Between Germany, the Netherlands and Croatia
Abstract
The paper analyses the transfer of public policies within the framework of the policy of funding political parties. The analysis of the transfer is focused on three dimensions of public policy transfer: the causes of the transfer, the very process of the transfer, and the substance of the transfer in Germany, the Netherlands and Croatia. In analysing the process of the transfer, the author lays particular emphasis on domestic structural factors that shaped the transfer of public policies: ideas about political parties and policy style, and he shows that these factors facilitated public policy transfer in some countries and made it more difficult in others.
