Globalization has intensified transnational policy learning and diffusion, making policy translation a central concern in public policy studies. Yet existing research largely emphasizes governmental actors, overlooking the learning processes led by civil society organizations. This study examines Taiwan’s local non-profit organization, Taiwan Parks & Playgrounds for Children by Children (TWPfC), to analyze how an NPO engages in transnational policy learning and translation, and how its strategic actions reshape governmental approaches to planning and governance. The findings show that TWPfC not only elevated public awareness of children’s right to play but also catalyzed significant transformations in urban playground design through co-creation between government and citizens. By challenging conventional expert-driven models, the organization strengthened user participation and promoted more inclusive and responsive public space design. Through strategic communication and multi-stakeholder collaboration, TWPfC adopted a bidirectional democratic translation model, drawing on international experiences while engaging in reflexive, iterative adaptation to local contexts. Policy learning thus emerges as a nonlinear, dynamic process shaped by continuous interaction among actors. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how local NPOs can initiate policy translation and foster shifts in governance models. The findings broaden the understanding of bottom-up policy learning and offer theoretical and practical insights on actor agency and knowledge governance in policy co-creation. |
