Policy translation through localisation: implementing national policy in the UK
研究了国家政策如何在地方层面被翻译和实施，提出政策翻译不是简单传递，而是通过地方行动者、基础设施等多次转化，并发现政策设计特征影响实施和内容重塑。
This paper builds on policy implementation studies, which seek to explain how policies undergo some form of ‘translation’ from general policy guidelines to implementation in practice at the local level. The paper makes two contributions to the policy implementation literature. First, it draws on the concept of ‘local universality’ to suggest that the translation of policy by central actors is not simply transmitted but is iteratively transformed through multiple distributed agencies including local actors, infrastructure, data sets and organisational practices. Second, empirical findings show how structural policy design features influence implementation and (re)shape policy content by incorporating knowledge from practice.
