Applying Mixed Methods in the Study of Policy Design

Abstract

This panel is comprised of papers featuring a diverse array of methodological approaches to study policy (regulation) design and associated causes and outcomes. Applications draw on a variety of theories and issues to showcase the broad relevance and applicability of these different approaches within the context of each. The panel is specifically designed to follow from the plenary session on engaging computational methods for the study of policy design, which motivates the use of different methodological approaches to respond to questions of enduring interest to scholars of policy (regulation) design. * From aspiration to regulation in international conservation governance: Comparing the linkages among constitutive and regulative institutional arrangements in four treaty regimes - Ute Brady * The institutional grammar of cybersecurity agencies: a comparative study - Jonathan C.
