> Why, at the government level, do we not look at best practices worldwide? I've seriously been wondering why there isn't a field of study dedicated to comparing government policies across countries. I'm sure such a field of study exists, but I have no idea what the name of that field is - does that fall under public policy? Comparative politics? The fact that I can't put a name on it is the very problem as it shows the field (if it even exists) has very little influence on public policy (unlike say economics, which has the Council of Economic Advisors, CBO, BLS, Fed, U.S. treasury, etc).
