Knowledge and expertise of critical issues Sample Clauses

Knowledge and expertise of critical issues. Policy entrepreneurs usually have widely recognized expertise on the policy issue and have earned a reputation for being a good source of information amongst decision makers, which helps build trust (Xxxxxxxx, 1991). They also tend to have high levels of intellectual capacity and knowledge of both the policy and the broader political context (Mintron and Xxxxxxx, 1996). As such, policy entrepreneurs influence policy through both the production and the dissemination of knowledge (Xxxxxx et al., 2019). Once knowledge is produced, they understand how it can be used to promote policy change and begin cultivating networks to drive change. By becoming valuable assets and sources of knowledge and information to government actors, policy entrepreneurs are better able to influence policy.
