This book presents an academically rigorous yet practical guide to
efforts to understand how knowledge, policy and power interact to
promote or prevent change. It offers a power analysis perspective
on the knowledge-policy process, illustrated with rich empirical
examples from the field of international development, combined with
practical guidance on the implications of such an approach. It
provides ways to identify and address problems that have hampered
previous attempts to improve the space between knowledge and
policy; such as difficulties in analysing political context,
persistent asymmetric relationships between actors, ignorance of
the contributions of different types of knowledge, and
misconceptions of the roles played by intermediary organisations.
Most importantly, the book gives readers the ability to develop
strategies for negotiating the complexity of the knowledge-policy
interface more effectively, so as to contribute to policy
dialogues, influence policy change, and implement policies and
programmes more effectively. The authors focus on the dynamics of
the knowledge-policy interface in international development;
offering novel theoretical insights and methodological approaches
that are applicable to a broader array of policy arenas and their
audiences, including academics, practitioners and students.
