Period politics and policy change
How, when and why do policies change? This article engages with this question through a focus on the taxation of menstrual products in the United Kingdom from its initial emergence as an issue in 1996 through to the eventual abolition of the ‘tampon tax’ on 1 January 2021. Despite the significance of this topic for broader debates concerning gender inequality, political efficacy and social change it is not one that has been the focus of close his…
When evidence alone is not enough
Background: Tooth extractions are the most common cause of hospital admissions for children in England. Water fluoridation has the potential to reduce this number by 60%, is backed by the scientific and public health communities, and yet is currently consumed by only 10% of the population. Aims and objectives: This ‘evidence-policy gap’ is explored through Kingdon’s ‘multi-streams approach’ which provides insights into the circumstances under whi…
Constructing Continuity

This paper contributes to ongoing debates surrounding the impact of the Great Crash on change or continuity in fiscal policy assumptions in the IMF, and in doing so, foregrounds two variables that have been given short shrift in the existing literature: the multiple levels of economic ideas; and the dynamic, evolving, multi-phase nature of moments of political-economic failure. Drawing on this nuanced appreciation of the complexities and dimensio…
