Neoliberalism: From New Liberal Philosophy to Anti-Liberal Slogan (2009, background): “The privatization of pensions, beginning in Chile and spreading throughout Latin America and the postcommunist region, is a policy that liberals in the advanced industrial countries actively promote but have thus far failed to implement (Weyland 2005; Orenstein 2008).”

Explaining the Deterrence Effect of Human Rights Prosecutions for Transitional Countries (2010, background): “Studies show that countries can learn from the policies of other countries (Haas, 1992, Weyland, 2005).”
The Privatization of Education: A Political Economy of Global Education Reform (2016, background): “Because actors’ rationality is assumed to be, at most, “bounded,” policymakers who intervene in complex policy fields have to resort to inferential shortcuts (Jessop, 2010; Weyland, 2005).”
Policy diffusion and policy transfer (2009, background): “Even if learning is said to play a role, actors may have only bounded rationality and thus may generalize inappropriately from a few proximate examples and hold on to initial conclusions even in the face of repeated subsequent disconfirmations (Weyland 2005).”
Punctuated Equilibrium Theory and the Diffusion of Innovations (2012, background): “By evaluating emerging innovations, state legislatures are able to reduce both the information costs and uncertainty regarding the outcomes of a new policy (Glick & Hays, 1991; Lindblom, 1959; Volden, 2006; Weyland, 2005).”

Measuring policy learning: regulatory impact assessment in Europe (2009, methodology): “This literature has also crossed roads with policy diffusion (Weyland 2005; Zito and Schout 2009), knowledge utilization (Boswell 2008) and the role of information as symbol, signal, and cognitive device (Levitt and March 1988; March 1981).”
