Abstract
This contribution deals with policy ‘borrowing’ as a phenomenon in comparative inquiry in education, covering how it has developed conceptually and attempting some definitions of what it entails. It describes policy borrowing processes and presents in detail the models developed by Phillips and Ochs as a heuristic device to help with their analysis and interpretation.
