Key research themes

1. How do participatory and deliberative procedures contribute to democratic legitimacy and effectiveness in policy making?

This research area explores the rise and impact of innovative participatory and deliberative governance mechanisms designed to enhance democratic input, quality of deliberation, and policy effectiveness amidst the shift from hierarchical 'government' to horizontal 'governance'. The studies focus on assessing these procedural devices with respect to openness, deliberation quality, transparency, accountability, and their capacity to address deficiencies in representative democracy, especially in contexts with politically contentious and complex issues.

Key finding: This work establishes a conceptual framework drawing on participatory and deliberative democratic theory and the governance literature to assess participatory procedures across Europe. It identifies four core dimensions:... Read more
Key finding: The study uncovers administrative strategies—reframing, technical depoliticisation, and repoliticisation—that public administrators employ to manage politically depoliticised conflicts where politicians avoid open debate. It... Read more

2. How has the concept and identity of the policymaker evolved in modern administrative states?

This thematic cluster analyzes the historical emergence and conceptual development of the ‘policymaker’ as a modern political identity intimately tied to the creation and expansion of administrative states. It investigates how shifts in governance and administration, particularly in the US context of the early-to-mid twentieth century, shaped the role and institutionalization of policy actors involved in decision-making beyond traditional legislative functions. This area also examines normative implications of the policymaker’s rise and its impact on political and bureaucratic dynamics.

Key finding: By tracing the usage of 'policymaker' through periodicals from 1870 to 1940, this essay finds that the term and associated role emerged predominantly in the interwar period alongside the growth of the US administrative state... Read more
Key finding: Orren and Skowronek argue that by the late 19th to 20th century, policy evolved from merely an instrument of government to becoming synonymous with government itself—the ‘policy state’. They document how constitutional rights... Read more

Key finding: Through a content analysis of 46 studies, the paper conceptualizes public policy making across different issue types and identifies two broad policymaker categories: official (state entities) and non-official actors, who... Read more

3. How can complexity theory and computational methods enhance our understanding of policy change and agenda setting?

This domain investigates the application of complexity science—including complexity theory and computational modeling—to unravel the dynamic, nonlinear, and networked nature of policy change and agenda setting processes. It addresses the micro-macro problem by linking actor-level social interactions to emergent policy dynamics, and assesses methodological innovations that allow for more precise modeling and operationalization of complex policy phenomena. This research provides a pathway toward deeper empirical and theoretical insights into policy stability, transformation, and institutional adaptation under complexity.

Key finding: This paper presents an agent-based model conceptualizing policy processes as coevolving networks where actors’ influence depends on their environments and exogenous events enable dialogue and consensus-building. It validates... Read more
Key finding: The chapter elaborates on Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Approach (MSA) as a metaphorical and flexible framework that separates problem, policy, and politics 'streams' which must converge during a policy window for change. It... Read more
Key finding: This extensive review of 413 empirical articles reveals fragmented conceptualizations of policy integration, with limited incorporation of policy process theories and evaluation, highlighting gaps in addressing policy... Read more
