Abstract
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 democratizing nations. Focusing on the ‘soft’ ideational and normative policy transfer the paper highlights the engagement in governance that comes with OSI transnational policy partnerships.
