Abstract

Sound policy process research addressing policy change is produced when frameworks integrate theoretical reflections and use appropriate methods for operationalization. While this poses a variety of challenges (e.g., research design decisions), some frameworks seem to work better when applying specific theories or methods (e.g., social network analysis, QCA, meta-analysis). Papers contributing to the question when and how to integrate theories, models, as well as methods, are presented.
