Public policy emerged as an academic subfield in the United States after
the second World War. The theoretical foundations of the discipline are essentially
based on analyses of Anglo-Saxon policies and politics and were originally aimed
at providing knowledge for the policy process of pluralistic democracies. Given the
increasing transfer of the subject and related approaches to other countries, it is
necessary to clarify how suitable theories, goals, and methods of policy research are
applied in other contexts. What needs to be considered when transferring theories of
the policy process, and what can be learned from existing applications of the various
approaches in different settings? The compilation of contributions on selected theoretical public policy lenses and their transfer to other countries and regions provides
a nuanced answer to these questions.
