Policy transfer is a process in which information relating to the operation of one political system is utilised by another political aystem. While policies have always moved between political systems policy transfer has emerged as a study in and of itself since the mid 1990s with the publication of Who Learns What From Whom: A Review of the Policy Transfer Literature. Since then the concept has been developed and applied by urban geographers under the label of mobiblities by Jamie Peck and NikTheodore as Fast Policy and those interested in global networks as policy translations. Out of these literatures policy transfer has been applied to a range of policies running from zero tolerance policing, welfare-to-work and even Business Improvement Districts and the emergence of bike sharing programs.
