In person icon Forms and Variations of Policy Change

Abstract

Policy change can take different forms. There is no clear definition of what constitutes policy change and how it can be measured. When policies do not change, we can observe policy stagnation or deadlock. When policies change, they can be coherent or incoherent, both in what regards symbolic and substantive aspects. There can be policy uncertainty and policy volatility that come with policy modifications. Policy change can be measured on different levels. Crises have a certain influence on policy change, as policymaking does not function "as usual" anymore. This panel brings together different papers that tackle different aspects of the analysis of policy change.
