TLDR
In this paper, a conceptual framework focusing on the belief systems of advocacy coalitions within policy subsystems is proposed for understanding the role of policy analysis in policy-oriented learning and the effect, in turn, of such learning on changes in governmental programs.Abstract:
There has been a great deal of research in recent years concerning the use of substantive policy analysis in public policy-making. This paper seeks to integrate those findings - e.g., the ‘enlightenment function’ of policy research - into a more general model of policy-making over periods of a decade or more. The conceptual framework focuses on the belief systems of advocacy coalitions within policy subsystems as the critical vehicle for understanding the role of policy analysis in policy-oriented learning and the effect, in turn, of such learning on changes in governmental programs.read more
