change\n The lessons of policy learning\n Practical prescriptions for governing fragmented governments\n Drawing practical lessons from punctuated equilibrium theory\n Policy design and the added-value of the institutional analysis development framework\n Why advocacy coalitions matter and practical insights about them\n Concluding thoughts on advancing policy theory translations\n References\nChapter Two Three habits of successful policy entrepreneurs1\n Introduction: how to improve the multiple streams narrative\n How does the multiple streams story begin?\n Entrepreneurs know why it is important to tell a good story about a policy problem\n Entrepreneurs have a solution ready to chase a problem\n Entrepreneurs know when to ‘surf the waves’ or try to move the sea\n Venue

broad idea or specific solution\n Conclusion\n Acknowledgement\n Note\n References\nChapter Three Narratives as tools for influencing policy change1\n Introduction\n Policy narrative pitfalls\n The

epistemically\n Learning from reflection\n Learning as by-product of bargaining\n Learning in hierarchies\n Lesson 2: Triggers and hindrances\n Triggering and hindering epistemic learning\n Enabling and disabling reflection\n Triggers and barriers to learning from bargaining\n Triggering and hindering hierarchy\n Lesson 3: Watch out for learning pathologies\n Dysfunctions of epistemic learning\n When reflexivity goes wrong\n Dysfunctional bargaining\n Pathologies of hierarchy\n Conclusions\n Note\n References\nChapter Six Practical prescriptions for governing fragmented governments\n

Increase transparency, accountability, and equity through inclusiveness\n Develop collaborative capacity through incrementalism\n Conclusion\n Acknowledgement\n References\nChapter Seven Drawing practical lessons from punctuated equilibrium theory\n Introduction\n Information processing in public policy research\n A unified theory of information processing and policy change\n Decision-making and attention in punctuated equilibrium theory\n Subgovernment politics\n Parallel and serial information processing\n Issue expansion and feedback\n Drawing practical lessons from information processing scholarship: two cautions and three suggestions\n Caution 1: Centralised institutions create information processing bottlenecks\n Caution 2: Fragmented institutions create coordination problems\n Suggestion 1: Design institutions not just to attend to new problems, but to be intentionally information-seeking\n Suggestion 3: Taking signals seriously and learning from the messengers\n Concluding thoughts\n References\nChapter Eight Policy design and the added-value of the institutional analysis development framework\n Introduction\n The state of the IAD art and science\n Self-governance as a way to solve collective action problems\n The framework as an analytical lens\n IAD applications: learning about how institutions work in context\n Key insights for policy analysis and design\n Self-governance is possible, under certain conditions, across a diversity of policy venues\n Use the framework as a diagnostic approach for public policy\n Stop looking for panaceas: identify, and experiment with contextually appropriate policies\n Boundaries of the IAD’s practical insights and final reflections\n Notes\n References\nChapter Nine Why advocacy coalitions
