PI: John CampbellTitle: Knowledge Regimes and Comparative Political EconomySES-0813633Project AbstractThis project explores the process by which policy ideas are generated and contested. How are the policy research organizations (e.g., think tanks) that generate various policy ideas organized in different countries? How do they operate and try to influence public policy? How have they changed since the late 1980s? Have they become more or less similar over time? Answers to these questions will be developed through the analysis of in-depth interviews and documents collected from a sample of these organizations in four countries: Denmark, France, Germany, and the United States. In doing so, the research will also test two important theories of organizational and institutional change that have preoccupied social scientists for years. One suggests that groups of organizations in a field tend to converge over time on a common set of practices; the other suggests that they do not and that organizations tend to retain their uniqueness even as they change. Rarely have these theories been tested with qualitative data. Hence, this project offers a unique opportunity not only to determine the degree to which convergence in an organizational field has occurred, but also to identify the mechanisms that are involved. As a result, this research will have several broad impacts. First, it will help us better understand how organizational and institutional change occurs. Second, it will help policy research organizations better understand how their operations compare to their counterparts at home and abroad. Finally, it will offer new insights into an important but much neglected part of democratic policy-making?the process by which new policy ideas are generated in the first place.

PI：John Campbelltitle：知识制度和比较政治经济体-0813633Pro Abstrack This This Project探讨了产生和有争议的政策思想的过程。 如何在不同国家组织各种政策思想的政策研究组织（例​​如智囊团）如何？ 他们如何运作并试图影响公共政策？ 自1980年代后期以来，他们发生了什么变化？ 随着时间的流逝，它们或多或少变得相似吗？ 这些问题的答案将通过分析从四个国家的这些组织中收集的深入访谈和文件进行分析：丹麦，法国，德国和美国。 为此，研究还将检验两种重要的组织和机构变革理论，这些理论多年来一直关注社会科学家。 有人建议，一个领域的组织群体往往会随着时间的流逝而汇聚在一系列共同的实践上。另一个建议他们没有，并且组织倾向于保留其独特性，即使他们改变了。 这些理论很少通过定性数据进行了测试。 因此，该项目提供了一个独特的机会，不仅可以确定组织领域中发生的融合的程度，还可以确定所涉及的机制。 结果，这项研究将产生一些广泛的影响。 首先，它将有助于我们更好地了解组织和机构变革是如何发生的。 其次，它将帮助政策研究组织更好地了解其运营方式与国内外的同行相比。 最后，它将为民主政策制定的重要但被忽视的一部分提供新的见解？首先产生了新的政策思想的过程。
