Abstract

This Panel seeks strategies for advancing knowledge about the policy process by combining frameworks or inserting certain elements of one lens into another. The Panel will thus explore barriers, opportunities, and strategic ideas for taking leaps in knowledge in policy process research. Theoretical Papers discuss whether and how cross-fertilization can increase explanatory leverage. Empirical Papers investigate the possibility and usefulness of cross-fertilization.
