Sammendrag
The policy transfer literature identifi es the importance of context in shaping policy
selection. However, countries with distinctly different contexts are pursuing the
agencifi cation of the public sector. Why? The solution to this puzzle lies in the
ambiguity associated with public management ideas, which allows policy adopters
room to interpret management doctrines and experience. The result is that public
management ideas that carry the same identifying label can mask variation in the
understanding of the policy, the motivation for adoption and in implementation
outcomes. The process of interpretation allows policy-makers in different contexts
to: (1) adopt superfi cially similar policy concepts; (2) overlook negative experiential
learning that contradicts the policy doctrine; and (3) adopt policies unsuitable to the
national context.
