这篇文章提出的问题是，所谓的党派政策趋同是否消除了福利国家服务提供私有化方面的差异。这项研究使用了一种新的方法--在一致性研究框架中设置的许多国家内部比较--来评估趋同的程度及其根本原因。它探讨了五个在左右翼连续体上立场不同的国家的学校私有化交付的党派政治：英国、澳大利亚、新西兰、挪威和瑞典。保健服务私有化被选为次要政策领域。对这两个领域的国家内部差异的分析表明，所有国家的左翼和右翼之间仍然存在显著差异。右翼倾向于制定私有化议程，而左翼比右翼更不愿意将服务提供私有化。这种做法上的差异与公共和私人项目选民对左翼和右翼政党的不同影响有关。
This article asks whether alleged partisan policy convergence has eradicated differences in relation to privatization of delivery of welfare state services. The study utilizes a novel methodological approach—numerous intrastate comparisons set in a consilience research framework—to assess the extent of convergence and its underlying reasons. It explores the partisan politics of school privatization of delivery across five countries that differ in their position on the left–right continuum: England, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden. Privatization of delivery in health care was selected as a secondary policy domain. Analysis of within-country variation in both domains indicates that there remain significant differences between left and right across all countries. The right tends to set the privatization agenda, and the left is more reluctant than the right to privatize delivery of services. This difference in approach is related to the disparate influence that public and private program constituencies have over left and right parties.
