“…Although the importance of biographies and elite building is very visible in France, there may be an equivalence in other countries. Within international policy process research, the approach has neither yet been applied to many other countries nor has it yet been used for analysis of other policy issues than health and defense policy (Darviche et al., 2013). However, this article demonstrates that an application to other countries may be fruitful and advocates its application also in other policy issues.…”

Do biographies of policy elites make a difference for the policy process and output? Leading theories of the policy process focus on other explanations that mostly have been derived from peculiarities of American politics. This article transfers a French approach to the study of policy processes in German health policy. It emphasizes how this French perspective presents an added value in the form of the programmatic action framework. At its core, the programmatic action framework proposes that programmatic elites in policy sectors form on the basis of shared biographical intersections and connect to a joint program. Applying the programmatic action framework to the German case of a programmatic elite in health policy that dominated the last quarter-century of major reforms, the analysis reveals the explanatory power of the programmatic action framework in other political contexts. A transfer of the programmatic action framework to other countries and policy issues, however, must respect the specificities of the political system and policy subsystem. In Germany, the specific role of self-governance enhances the analytical categories of the programmatic action framework, moving beyond the traditional conflict between custodians and austerians of state.

“…31 Twelve master's programs, inspired by a "policy science" approach that focuses on training in public policy formation and evaluation, were initially set up. 32 These institutions offer interdisciplinary training that enables their students to grasp the issues in public policy formulation and evaluation and endows them with specific university degrees (MPA, MPP, MPH, or even PhD) expected to be useful for future sectoral specialization within Congress and/or the executive branch 33 (Table 1).…”

This paper examines the career trajectories of new health policy elites in the American federal government, identifying areas of expertise, partisan alignments, relationships to interest groups, and institutional constraints. We demonstrate that, in both the American and French cases, policy elites who have risen through prestigious educational institutions and undertaken extensive professionalization in government, have in fact developed comparable characteristics that blend broad knowledge of social, institutional, and partisan issues with technical skills. We argue that, benefiting from extensive experience in the back offices of power, deeply entrenched in the health policy sector, and promoting a programmatic reform agenda that reaffirms the regulatory powers of government, the new American health policy elites worked behind the scenes to draft and implement the final ACA legislation. Their ambitious, far-reaching reform effort succeeded where many advocates of comprehensive reform had failed, anchoring the political and institutional framework of the U.S. health care system.

“…Building on these bases, the programmatic approach has been extended further and applied to a variety of policy sectors and countries (Darviche et al., 2013). In two more research projects by the French research group (MIRE and OPERA), the programmatic approach sheds light on elite trajectories and their influence on policymaking in France and the United States.…”

Abstract: Le haut niveau de diplôme et la forte présence de lawyers tendent à s'élever lorsque l'on prend en considération les staffers rattachés à des commissions parlementaires prestigieuses (Hammond, 1984, p. 278).
