How Policy Text Affects Policy Diffusion: A Comparative Study Based on Four Types of Policies

Abstract

Abstract: Policy text is a topic that has long been neglected in the research on the factors affecting the diffusion of policy innovation. Taking the content of the policy text as the entry point， this paper constructs the analysis framework of “policy potential energy-policy incentives”， divides the policy into four types， and uses four cases to try to clarify the differences in policy diffusion speed， diffusion path， diffusion mechanism and diffusion content formed by different policy texts. The study shows that policies with strong potential energy and strong incentives diffuse the fastest， with policy innovation as the content through coercion， competition and learning. Policies with strong potential energy and weak incentives diffuse the second fastest， with coercion， learning and imitation as the main diffusion mechanism， and policies tend to mutate. Policies with strong incentives and weak potential energy also diffuse fast， with competition and learning as the main diffusion mechanism and policy reproduction as the content. Policies with weak potential energy and weak incentives diffuse slowly， with learning and imitation as the main diffusion mechanism， and policy content often being the same.

Key words: policy diffusion; policy text; policy types; diffusion characteristics
