Public policy education in the Global South has mushroomed in the past 2 decades, concomitant with governance models that provide an alternative to liberal Western democracies. However, not much empirical evidence exists on the drivers and implications of this trend, with few exceptions that point toward a form of internationalization in the policy sciences. This study aims to fill this scholarly gap by comparing 46 public policy schools on various dimensions including degree offerings, institutional establishment and status, and mission. Further, to determine whether a unique model for public policy education is emerging that extends beyond mimicry of longstanding programs in the USA and Western Europe, we surveyed the senior management of the schools in our sample. We find that less than 25% have been directly modeled after a Western school. We discuss the implications of our findings for the practice and study of public policy education.

全球南方的公共政策学校：新兴景观的映射和分析

在过去的 20 年里，全球南方的公共政策教育如雨后春笋般涌现，伴随着治理模式提供了自由西方民主的替代方案。然而，关于这一趋势的驱动因素和影响的实证证据并不多，只有少数例外表明政策科学中的一种国际化形式。本研究旨在通过比较 46 所公共政策学校的学位课程、机构设置和地位以及使命等各个方面来填补这一学术空白。此外，为了确定一种独特的公共政策教育模式是否正在出现，而不仅仅是模仿美国和西欧的长期项目，我们调查了样本中学校的高级管理人员。我们发现只有不到 25% 是直接模仿西方学校的。
