Session Type: Symposium
Education policymaking has seen the rise of advocacy networks of loosely affiliated organizations that work to shape policies around their shared agendas. Such networks can include funders, researchers, media, lobbyists, think tanks, and the intermediary actors that connect them all. Yet little is known about how these emerging networks operate, what makes some more effective, or their impacts on research use and democratic access in the policymaking process. This session includes scholars focusing on this issue from local, national, and global perspectives, often employing innovative network analysis approaches in order to illuminate the role of advocacy networks in shaping policy. The discussion will consider how these networks operate across levels and contexts, and their potential for democratizing education policymaking.
