本文考察了学习作为政策传播机制在创建新政治秩序背景下的作用。作者讨论了政策学习的背景下，最近的研究放松管制和监管政策的扩散，并试图区分学习从其他机制的扩散。然后，她调查了测试这一机制所面临的挑战，并提出了她的特殊方法：学习的理性版本。她还报告了初步努力的结果，以测试适用于传播的监管政策的学习。作者的结论是，学习不能被拒绝作为一个合理的机制，政策的扩散，虽然它分享其解释作用与不太合理的扩散机制，特别是政策仿真。需要进一步的研究和分析来测试学习的理性或有限版本，并在这样做的时候，深入研究学习的政治。
This article surveys the role of learning as mechanism of policy diffusion in the context of the creation of a new political order. The author discusses policy learning against the background of recent research on the diffusion of deregulatory and regulatory policies and attempts to distinguish learning from other mechanisms of diffusion. She then surveys the challenges entailed in testing this mechanism and sets out her particular approach: a rational version of learning. She also reports the results of preliminary efforts to test learning as applied to the diffusion of regulatory policies. The author concludes that learning cannot be rejected as a plausible mechanism of the diffusion of policies, although it shares its explanatory role with less rational mechanisms of diffusion, in particular policy emulation. Further research and analysis is needed to test learning in either its rational or its bounded version and, in doing so, to delve into the politics of learning.
