  • Peter De Leon’s Commitment to Democracy

    Open AccessHerbert IngramARTICLEInternational Review of Public…2020References: 1

    I first encountered the work of policy scholar Peter de Leon in the late 1970s when the interdisciplinary field of public policy was just emerging. As a beginning professor I read his chapter on policy termination, in the 1979 book on the policy cycle edited by May and Wildavsky. A few years later, I joined a packed audience to hear him speak about his ideas of the policy stages and cycle analyses, where he described the policy process as occurri…

  • Social Constructions, Anticipatory Feedback Strategies, and Deceptive Public Policy

    Open AccessAnne L Schneider, Herbert Ingram et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies Journal2019Cited by: 56References: 10

    Elected leaders adopt “anticipatory feedback strategies” in designing public policies that generate support and forestall opposition. This contention is at the core of a social construction theory of feedback. Officials anticipate approval when policies allocate benefits to powerful groups socially constructed as deserving and allocate costs or punishment to groups viewed as undeserving, particularly if these groups lack political power. Designs …

  • Framing the target in policy formulation: The importance of social constructions

    Anne L Schneider, Anne Schneider et al.CHAPTERHandbook of Policy Formulation2017

    Social constructions of the target populations of public policy heavily influence the process by which policies are created. In the case of policy formulation in particular, framing the target population has a profound impact on the selection of policy tools. The chapter argues that these social constructions impacting policy formulation become deeply embedded into policy-making orientations, explaining how some groups are more advantaged than ot…

  • The Power of Narrative in Environmental Networks

    Margaret Wilder, Margaret O Wilder et al.ARTICLEThe AAG Review of Books2015

  • What's the story? Creating and sustaining environmental networks

    Mrill Ingram, Herbert Ingram et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Politics2014Cited by: 5References: 43

    Networks have been embraced as appropriate means for environmental governance because of their potential inclusivity, flexibility, resilience, and ability to comprehend multiple values and ways of knowing. Analysis of networks, however, falls short of accounting for the emergence and persistence of these innovative and complex modes of governance, as well as their failures. We offer a framework for using narrative to understand and evaluate netwo…

  • The Power of Narrative in Environmental Networks

    Raul P Lejano, Raul Lejano et al.BOOKThe Power Of Narrative In…2013

    Theory and case studies demonstrate the analytic potential of mutually constitutive “narrative networks” in environmental governance. For as long has humans have lived in communities, storytelling has bound people to each other and to their environments. In recent times, scholars have noted how social networks arise around issues of resource and ecological management. In this book, Raul Lejano, Mrill Ingram, and Helen Ingram argue that stories, o…

  • Modeling the commons as a game with vector payoffs

    Open AccessRaul P Lejano, Herbert Ingram et al.ARTICLEJournal of Theoretical Politics2012Cited by: 3References: 75

    Since Hardin first formulated the tragedy of the commons, researchers have described various ways that commons problems are solved, all based on the model of individual rationality. Invariably, these institutional solutions involve creating some system of property rights. We formulate an alternative model, one not founded on property rights but on decision-making around so-called vector payoffs. The model is formalized and an existence proof prov…

  • A Founder: Aaron Wildavsky and the Study of Public Policy

    Open AccessJeanne Nienaber Clarke, Herbert Ingram et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies Journal2010References: 7

    During the decade of the 1960s a new social science discipline was created. Aaron Wildavsky, along with a small number of other scholars, began focusing their research on public policy studies and the analysis of governmental policy. This article discusses Professor Aaron Wildavsky's original interest in this field, how he institutionalized it by creating a Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, and his major …

  • Policy Analysis for Democracy

    Herbert Ingram, Helen Ingram et al.CHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook Of Public…2009

    This article suggests that the contexts for most public policies are experiencing rapid changes. This requires a focus on the democracy gap, which has previously been ignored by policy analysts. The article presents a brief discussion of the meanings of conditions for democracy, and conceives some possible linkages between democratic conditions and public policy content or design. These linkages are then developed as the subject matter for policy…

  • Making Science Useful to Decision Makers: Climate Forecasts, Water Management, and Knowledge Networks

    David L Feldman, Herbert Ingram et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2009

    Moving from climate science to adaptive action is an immense challenge, especially in highly institutionalized sectors such as water resources. Knowledge networks are valuable strategies to put climate information to use. They overcome barriers to information adoption such as stovepipes, pipelines, and restricted decision space, and they can be responsive to issues of salience and the hurdles of reliability, credibility, and trust. Collaboration …

  • Contentious Perspectives on Water Resources

    Open AccessHerbert Ingram, Helen IngramARTICLEInternational Studies Review2009

    By the end of the 21st century water may replace oil as the most contentious of global natural resource problems. Water is becoming increasingly scarce, and today water can not be found in the quantity, quality and price to meet the ever growing demand for it around the world. Even in places where water would seem to be sufficient to meet needs it is often misallocated, wasted, and degraded by pollution. Climate change is promising to make alread…

  • The Importance of Context: Integrating Resource Conservation with Local Institutions

    Raul P Lejano, Herbert Ingram et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2007Cited by: 13References: 6

    This article focuses on the manner by which resource management regimes, often conceived far away from their areas of application, are integrated into the local institutions, practices, and social structures of a place. This process of contextualization may be especially critical where, for reasons of resource scarcity, remoteness, or system complexity, the state cannot engage in effective program management. The thesis of the article is that if …

    Open AccessMartha S Feldman, Anne M Khademian et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review2006Cited by: 79References: 19

    The authors engage structural and agentic perspectives to examine opportunities for deliberation and the purposeful role of managers in creating those opportunities. Drawing on actor‐network theory as a way of understanding the process of structuring knowledge, this essay focuses on the continuous enactment and reenactment of networks of human and nonhuman actants and the associations that connect them. This thinking is applied to policy issues, …
