Social Identities, Programmatic Action, and Group Dynamics in Policy Processes

Abstract

Policy actors are members of different social groups that influence the way they form preferences, take action, and interact with others in the policy process. This panel brings together research on intra- and intergroup relations that provides group-focused explanations for policymaking dynamics. These can draw on a diversity of perspectives, including but not limited to the Programmatic Action Framework (PAF) and Social Identities in the Policy Process (SIPP), as well as a diversity of methodological approaches.
