Approaching Actors - Institutions - Ideas Interactions in Public Policy and Policy Process Research

Abstract

The relationship between evidence, expertise, and the policy process has attracted sustained scholarly attention, yet remains conceptually fragmented across diverse research streams. This panel seeks to advance this debate by inviting contributions that illuminate, from multiple analytical perspectives, how institutional and political contexts shape, enable, or constrain the role and use of evidence and expertise within the policy process.
