| الملخص (بالإنجليزية): |
Diffusion research often characterizes the role of the federal government in innovation adoption as a supportive one, either increasing the likelihood of adoption or its speed. We examine the adoption of medical marijuana laws (MMLs) from 1996 to 2014 to shed light on what motivates states to adopt innovations that are in explicit defiance of federal law. Furthermore, we examine whether federal signals have any influence on the likelihood of adoption. In doing so, we utilize implementation theory to expand our understanding of how the federal government's position impacts state policy innovation adoption. We find mixed evidence for the influence of federal signals on the adoption of MMLs. The results suggest that medical marijuana policies are much more likely to be adopted in states when proponents have the political or institutional capital, rather than a medical or fiscal need. Moreover, this political capital is sufficient independent of the federal government's real or perceived position. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Chinese): |
摘要: 扩散研究常认为联邦政府在创新采纳中扮演着支持的角色, 它不是提高了政策采纳的可能性, 就是加快了采纳的步伐。我们分析了1996年到2014年间的医用大麻法案, 以此来阐明是什么促使各州采纳那些明显违背联邦法律的创新。我们还分析了联邦的信号是否影响了政策采纳的可能性。借此, 我们利用政策执行理论来扩展我们对于联防政府的立场对于州政策创新影响的理解。我们发现联邦信号对于医用大麻法案采纳的影响复杂且模糊。结果表明, 医用大麻政策更可能被那些支持者们有政治或制度资源的州, 而非那些有医疗或财政需求的州所采纳。而且, 这些政治资源足够独立于联邦政府真实的或被感知的立场。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
