摘要
The Open Society Institute (OSI) is a private operating and grant-making foundation that serves as the hub of the Soros Foundations Network, a group of autonomous national foundations around the world. OSI is a mechanism for the international diffusion of expertise and 'best practices' to post-communist countries and other democratising nations Focusing on the 'soft' ideational and normative policy transfer, the article highlights the engagement in governance that comes with OSI transnational policy partnerships.
