The objective of Cambridge Studies in Comparative Public Policy is to advance the understanding of public policies through the publication of the results of comparative research into the nature, dynamics and contexts of major policy challenges and responses to them. The series will publish leading-edge and historical research which examines the patterns and forces that drive public policy processes and outcomes. Volumes in the series will draw critical insights that enhance policy learning and are generalizable beyond specific policy contexts, sectors and time periods.

The Series meets a growing need for quality publications in public policy studies written from a comparative cross-national or cross-sectoral perspective. Monographs and edited volumes in the series will compare policies in one or more policy sectors across institutional settings in order to further understanding of how and why policies diverge and converge over time. They will also compare the development and application of public policy theory across institutional and cultural settings and examine how policy ideas, institutions and practices shape policies and their outcomes.

The series will feature books authored by scholars from many disciplinary orientations including economics, planning, geography, political science, public administration and management, transportation, communication and organization studies, sociology and anthropology, resource management and others. Manuscripts comparing public policies in two or more cases as well as theoretically informed critical case studies which test more general theories are encouraged. Studies comparing policy development over time are also welcomed.
