Studying Advocacy Coalitions
Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) research has been continuously evolving to improve the understanding of coalition studies. This study aims to critically examine the most common methods for coalition identification in ACF research and to identify strategies to strengthen their clarity and interpretation. We identify and develop ideas around four key steps in using social network analysis (SNA) to study coalitions: collecting and understanding d…
Network structures and network effects across management and policy contexts
The wide application of networks in public administration has been driven by the practical need to address increasingly complex management and policy problems. To understand the outcomes of network structures, we reviewed empirical network research and examined the effects of six network structural properties across the five most studied policy domains. We found that certain structural properties such as global connectedness were consistently ass…

We reviewed and coded 89 articles and described the main social theo…

Why does this gap persist despite increased attention to this issue in recent years? And what organizational and community‐level factors do shape the likelihood that nonprofits will hire a Black or …

Yet, less has been said about how violence affects motherhood or how motherhood shapes women's decisions to leave. Drawing on 44 in-depth interviews with Mexican and Central American women seeking U.S. asylum, we show how …
