Linos, Katerina,

The democratic foundations of policy diffusion : how health, family, and employment laws spread across countries / Katerina Linos. - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white)

Includes index.

This book argues that laws spread around the world not through elite networks of technocrats, but through domestic democracy. It combines public opinion experiments, election campaign data legislative debates, and policy adoption patterns to document how international models generated domestic support for health family, and employment law reforms across rich democracies.
