Trygve Ugland is a professor in the Department of
Politics and International Studies at Bishop's University.
"In an increasingly interdependent and dynamic world, flourishing,
and even survival, depend on the ability to learn from experience,
one's own and others. This well-designed study of policy transfer
from Canada to the Scandinavian countries offers several new
insights into the basic processes that promote or hinder learning
and diffusion across state borders. A valuable addition to the
international literature." --Johan P. Olsen, Professor Emeritus,
University of Oslo
"Addressing the increasingly important aspect of public policy
formation, Ugland's study of how the Canadian model has shaped
debates and the development of immigration and integration policies
in Scandinavian countries makes a substantial contribution to an
emerging scholarly debate on the role of the international setting
for policy formation. Policy Learning from Canada is refreshingly
accessible for a broad audience." --Oliver Schmidtke, Department of
Political Science, University of Victoria
