Through the prism of inter-jurisdiction comparisons of similarities and variations, they address comparisons in specific policy sectors, governance or institutional constructs, and political regimes. The foci are, nevertheless, on those comparisons between countries or regions, which help to lesson-draw by identifying and understanding the variation in policy analysis and policy making that exists within or across regions. One benefit of regional comparisons is that it often allows studies to hold constant many variables, ranging from colonial legacy to federal systems, or from language to specific traditions, and more effectively isolate dependent variables. Regional organizations like the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) or European Union are also considered as catalysts for regional policy approaches and harmonization, and occupy a major role in this volume. The chapters address a broad and diverse number of countries and geographical areas: Latin America, North America, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, the Baltic states, the Nordic states, Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and Europe as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Regional Comparisons and Policy Analysis\" will be of great interest to scholars and learners of public policy and social sciences, as well as to practitioners considering what can be learned or facilitated through methodologically and theoretically sound approaches. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters were originally published as articles in the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Comparative Policy Analysis \u003c\/i\u003ewhich in the\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003elast two decades has pioneered the development of comparative public policy.
