The contributions analyze links between countries via global trade\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e colonial history, similarity in culture, and spatial proximity. Networks are viewed as the structural backbone of the diffusion process, and diffusion is anlaysed via several subfields of social policy, in order to interrogate which network dimensions drive this process. \u003c\/p\u003eThe focus is on a global perspective of social policy diffusion via networks, and it is the first book to explicitly follow this macro-quantitative perspective on diffusion at a global scale whilst also comparing different networks. The collection tests the network structures in terms of their relevance to the diffusion process in different subfields of social policy such as old age and survivor pensions, labor and labor markets, health and long-term care, education and training, and family and gender policy.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will therefore be invaluable to students and researchers of global social policy, sociology, political science, international relations, organization theory and economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Windzio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030834026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030834029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Michael Windzio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945047097599,"sku":"9783030834029","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e91e55ce-ec09-4a07-8c2d-d97213e9a752.jpg?v=1681506473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/networks-and-geographies-of-global-michael-windzio-9783030834029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
