Chapter Chapter 4 in Institutional Learning and Knowledge Transfer Across Epistemic Communities, 2012, pp 123-150 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract A core tenet of our argument relates to the capacity of national to learn and adapt to ever changing global environments that is now more and more determined by global governance frameworks that defines rules, transparency. There are three main arguments that we are making. First, global epistemic communities should promote institutional learning at the local level through knowledge transfer as a vehicle to establish national and local epistemic communities. Second, institutional learning results in improvements made to policies as outcomes but also the institutional arrangements in place without directly challenging the existing way of doing things.
