الملخص (بالإنجليزية): For decades, scholars in multiple disciplines have examined spatial diffusion, or the spatiotemporal properties associated with the diffusion of innovations. These properties include contagious, hierarchical, and relocation diffusion. Each of these refers to a spatial model that epitomizes how innovations spread among geographic locations. Policy diffusion, a separate but homologous research tradition, had its theoretical underpinnings in spatial diffusion. However, contemporary policy diffusion has focused largely on mechanism‐based diffusion. This article demonstrates how exploratory spatial data analysis can be used to uncover spatial policy diffusion properties. In this study, municipal smoking regulation adoptions, religious‐based initiatives, and bag ban and bag fees are examined. This study finds evidence that for each policy more than one property is occurring; therefore, this study proposes that a hybrid model best explains diffusion. This article demonstrates how examining spatial diffusion properties, in addition to diffusion mechanisms, can improve the conceptualization of diffusion theories, enhance mechanism or theory‐based specification of diffusion models, and unravel the specific regional or neighboring causal pathways linking policies between adopting jurisdictions.

Abstract (Chinese): 摘要: 几十年来, 多个领域的学者们都研究了空间扩散抑或创新扩散的时空属性。这些属性包括传染的, 等级的, 以及异地转移的扩散。它们都指向了一个浓缩了创新是怎样在地理区域间传播的空间模型。政策扩散, 作为一个独立却又同源的研究传统, 将空间扩散作为它的理论基础。然而, 当代政策扩散在很大程度上关注机制的扩散。本文展示了解释性的空间数据分析如何被用来揭示空间政策扩散的特征。本研究分析了城市禁烟规制, 有关宗教的创新, 以及塑料袋禁用或收费政策。本文发现每一种政策的扩散都有一种以上的属性, 由此本文提出了一个可以最好地解释扩散的复合模型。本文提出, 除了研究扩散机制, 深入分析空间扩散属性可以增进扩散理论的概念化, 提升对于扩散模型的机制或者理论化的具体阐述, 以及揭示地区或者邻里间关于政策采纳的因果关系。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
