Acquiring direct knowledge of how a given policy is being implemented in other contexts is one of the most effective ways of assessing the feasibility of the policy reforms that are being pursued through the dialogue process, as well as of devising implementation strategies that conform to the actual capacities of the public administration. In this sense, comparisons need to be nuanced and duly contextualized, as in almost every case the study visit will take place in a more developed country, which is presented to –and perceived by– the participants as a “model”. However, such models need to be taken with a pinch of salt, as the implementation of a given policy is always related to other policies, as well as political and cultural factors, that may differ strongly from those of the country in which the policy reform is being pursued.
