The Organization and Governance of Knowledge – How Actors and Institutions Shape the Construction and Use of Knowledge for Policymaking

Abstract

The production and use of policy-relevant knowledge and expertise is increasingly embedded within existing institutional and organizational arrangements at the level of supranational institutions, International organizations and national- as well as local government. However, there is still little research on the consequences of such institutionalization processes and the closer coupling between knowledge production and governance that these entail. This panel thus seeks to elucidate how different ways of institutionalizing and structuring knowledge production and dissemination – and the communities and organizations involved in these processes - shape: 1) The types of knowledge considered relevant and valid; 2) How this knowledge is used in processes of governance and policymaking; and 3) By whom this knowledge is used
