Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: As of 2006, eighteen American and eight European states have full or partial smoking bans in effect. In the absence of legally binding federal or supranational directives, these policies have been voluntarily adopted. Both the American federal system and the quasi-federal system of the European Union can be considered elaborate platforms for policy diffusion and transfer. However, literature on policy diffusion, which typically examines American states, and policy transfer, which is largely European focused, lacks comparative analysis. Policy diffusion mainly considers voluntary, horizontal program adoptions, whereas policy transfer focuses on vertical, semi-coercive and coercive policy directives. This study integrates these divergent bodies of literature using a comparative case study analysis to examine tobacco regulation policies in the US and EU. Examining the implementation of smoking bans in California, New York, and the Republic of Ireland, the uni-dimensional nature of the policy diffusion and policy transfer approaches is revealed to be insufficient for explaining how policy travels across time and location. These cases demonstrate the effect of multiple sources, horizontal and vertical, internal and external, demanding an integrated model that incorporates these complex dimensions. Given the proven benefits of a smoke-free environment, it is important to discover how and why anti-smoking policies move from one political setting to another, and to determine the best method for successfully affecting further policy change.
