Research on Process Adaptation and Contextual Change in the International Transfer of Policy-Making Processes

本研究考察了日本政策制定过程制度化的三个案例——监管影响评估、战略环境评估和参与式技术评估——并举例说明了在现有制度环境中适应引进过程的过程适应与背景变化之间的相互作用机制。通过比较这些案例，本研究举例说明了在决策过程的国际转移中需要改变背景（例如调整体制机制）。

This research examined three cases of institutionalizing policy-making processes in Japan--regulatory impact assessment, strategic environmental assessment and participatory technology assessment--and exemplified the interaction mechanism between process adaptation and contextual change for accommodating imported processes in an existing institutional environment. By comparing the cases this research exemplified the need for a contextual change (e.g., adjusting institutional mechanisms) in the international transfer of policy-making processes.
