Scientists in power plays: How substantive were scientists' narratives during the COVID‐19 pandemic?

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists who provide expert advice must engage with policy processes. Little is known about whether and how scientists deal with the political dynamics of policy processes that are inherent to policymaking.

Narrative power in the narrative policy framework

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The Narrative Policy Framework lacks clear and empirical explanations of power. Yet, the study of narratives is inherently the study of power in shaping policy outputs and decisions.

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use grid‐group cultural theory (CT) to specify underspecified aspects of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF).

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on unequal responsiveness has shown that policies tend to align more closely with the preferences of high‐income citizens than low‐income citizens.
