Running With Scissors? Integrating GPT Models Into Public Policy Research
The integration of large language models (LLMs) into public policy research presents both exciting opportunities and methodological challenges. This research note explores how OpenAI's GPT can be used to semi‐automate the annotation of legislative testimony within the Advocacy Coalition Framework, focusing on emotion‐belief dyads. Building on Emotion‐Belief Analysis, we demonstrate how GPT can assist in identifying these complex constructs under …
Transnational Networks against Equality
The present study contributes to the burgeoning literature on opposition to gender and sexual equality in the European Parliament (EP). It demonstrates that to gain access and influence in the EP, this “anti-gender” mobilization has emulated the feminist and LGBTQ+ movements by adopting features of professional, policy-oriented organizations and building a transnational collaboration network with like-minded institutional allies. Using social net…
Deep core advocacy coalitions
As one of the most established theoretical approaches to public policy, the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) has moored most of its theoretical arguments around a textbook policy conflict consisting of two or more advocacy coalitions in a mature adversarial policy subsystem within an advanced polyarchy. This article steps beyond the textbook by introducing deep core coalitions marked by compounding intersectional identities operating at the mac…
Patterns of post-reform abortion politics
Courts have become key venues for resolving disputes over value-laden policies. Yet, conflict often persists after judicial decisions, with actors pursuing counter-legislation to resist verdicts. Focusing on abortion policy, we argue that two features of rulings—their type and their degree of ambiguity—shape opposition actors’ resistance tactics. Whether a verdict validates or invalidates existing state policy determines the goal of counter-legis…
Discursive Strategies and Sequenced Institutional Change
Building on historical and discursive institutionalism, this article examines the agent-based dynamics of gradual institutional change. Specifically, using marriage equality in the United States as a case study, we examine how actors’ ideational work enabled them to make use of the political and discursive opportunities afforded by multiple venues to legitimize the process of institutional change to take off sequentially through layering, displac…
Near-Peer Teaching in Human Anatomy from a Tutors’ Perspective
The University of Bologna School of Medicine in 2003 adopted a near-peer teaching (NPT) program with senior medical students teaching and assisting younger students in human anatomy laboratories. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of this program-unique on the Italian academic panorama-from the tutors' perspective. An anonymous online survey was administered to all those who acted as peer tutors in the period from 2003 to…
Failed and successful attempts at institutional change
By focusing on the legislative process underpinning marriage equality in the American states, this article identifies the combinations of conditions under which attempts at institutional displacement succeed or fail. Hitherto, few scholarly works have empirically examined displacement and whether, and how, actors can preserve institutional stability in the face of organized efforts to change institutions. Taking causal complexity into account, th…
