State policy diffusion describes how successful policies adopted in one state spread to other states through learning, competition, or professional networks. This diffusion process allows good ideas to spread nationally without requiring federal action.
Policy diffusion allows successful innovations to spread nationwide, improving governance across all states.
People think diffusion is automatic. Policy diffusion requires advocacy, evidence of success, and favorable conditions in adopting states.
