“…Here we emphasise the value of recognising synergies between these factors; the interplay between interests, institutions and ideas for analytic purposes. This is not the first analysis to suggest these factors matter or are interrelated (Heclo 1994;Hall 1997). Following other health policy analysts (Lavis et al 2002;Bashir and Ungar 2015;Shearer et al 2016;Schram 2018), we propose that employing the 3-I framework can provide alcohol researchers with a more sophisticated understanding of how politics shapes the policy process.…”

In this article, we demonstrate the applicability of a 3-I (interests, institutions, and ideas) framework to alcohol policy research. The analysis uses literature from political science research to provide a core theoretical framework. To help illustrate the argument, we draw on relevant examples from alcohol policy in the UK as well as initial findings from an ongoing research study on minimum-unit pricing in Wales. The Welsh case study provides an opportunity to examine the value of the framework in generating testable hypotheses in alcohol policy research. We find that several interrelated factors promoted policy change in Wales, including the government's power to legislate on matters of public health (institutionally), a relatively weak alcohol industry (a key interest group), and a public health community with specific policy arguments on why and how to tackle alcohol-related harms (ideas). Our analysis has important implications for public health research and evidence-based policymaking. It suggests that the uptake of new ideas depends on the existing configuration of interests, institutions and ideas. This analysis provides alcohol policy researchers with a portable framework for analysing the policy context.

“…Interests refer to the groups and individuals who stand to gain or lose from a policy change and power relationship among them [91,94]. Policy change often follows changes in the configuration of interests and power [95].…”

Background: Persons with developmental disabilities (PWDD) face a number of individual, environmental and societal barriers when seeking employment. Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) involves ongoing and dynamic interactions between researchers and stakeholders for the purpose of engaging in mutually beneficial research to address these types of multi-faceted barriers. There is a knowledge gap in the IKT literature on effective stakeholder engagement strategies outside of the dissemination stage to inform policy. In this paper, we report on a number of engagement strategies employed over a 2-year period to engage a wide range of stakeholders in different stages of an IKT project that aimed to investigate the 'wicked' problem of employment for PWDD. Method: Our engagement plan included multiple linked strategies and was designed to ensure the meaningful engagement of, and knowledge co-production with, stakeholders. We held two participatory consensus-building stakeholder policy dialogue events to co-produce knowledge utilising the nominal group technique and the modified Delphi technique. A total of 31 and 49 stakeholders engaged in the first and second events, respectively, from six key stakeholder groups. Focused engagement strategies were employed to build on the stakeholder dialogues for knowledge mobilisation and included a focus group attended only by PWDD, a stakeholder workshop attended only by policy/decision-makers, a webinar attended by human resources professionals and employers, and a current affairs panel attended by the general public. Results: Our findings suggest that the level of engagement for each stakeholder group varies depending on the goal and need of the project. Our stakeholder dialogue findings highlight the inherent challenges in co-framing and knowledge co-production through the meaningful engagement of multiple stakeholders who hold different ideas and interests. Focused outreach is needed to foster relationships and trust for meaningful engagement.

“…Tais proposições são certamente de difícil verificação e de mensuração, mas um número considerável de estudos empíricos vêm contribuindo para consolidar a importância das dimensões temporal e escalar nas análises sobre políticas públicas em públicas. Nos trabalhos de ciência política, o emprego da expressão "modelo dos três i" remete aos trabalhos de Hugh Heclo (1994); e também às publicações de Peter Hall (1997) sociedades e contextos socioespaciais muito distintos (GIRAUD, 2013;BUSSI, 2009;BAILLY, 2009;KUBLER e MAILLARD, 2009;FAURE, 2007).…”

A diversidade de perspectivas teórico-metodológicas à disposição da análise geográfica na atualidade tem encorajado a disciplina a explorar novas temáticas de pesquisa, bem como colocar as questões e problemas teóricos mais convencionais sob nova ótica. Partindo de um diálogo entre os subcampos da Geografia Política e da Geografia Econômica, o presente artigo explora as potencialidades e os limites de um enfoque institucionalista para a pesquisa geográfica. Após revisão teórico-conceitual das contribuições das teorias institucionalistas em diferentes campos das ciências sociais, o artigo ressalta a pertinência do enfoque institucional para abordar duas problemáticas caras à análise do território: as políticas de ordenamento territorial e as políticas de desenvolvimento regional. Como conclusão principal, ressalta-se que a atenção dedicada pela perspectiva institucionalista aos contextos de (inter)ação e à heterogeneidade de possíveis arranjos e ambientes institucionais nas diferentes escalas geográficas permite colocar sob outra luz a questão da diversidade territorial e, assim, enriquecer as análises sobre o território.Palavras-chave: Instituições; Território; Ordenamento territorial; Desenvolvimento Regional. Institutional environment and territorial diversity: reflections for a research agendaAbstract: The plurality of methodological perspectives currently at hand to geographical analysis has encouraged the discipline to explore new research subjects, as well as to see longstanding theoretical issues and problems under a different angle. Proposing a dialogue between the sub-fields of Political and Economic Geography, this article explores the potential and limits of an institutionalist approach to geographical research. After a theoretical review of the key contributions of institutional theories in different areas of the social sciences, the article underscores the usefulness of the institutional perspective to tackle two relevant issues in territorial analysis: territorial governance policies and regional development policies. The paper’s key conclusion is that the attention given by the institutionalists to the contexts of (inter)action and to the heterogeneity of possible institutional arrangements and environments at different geographical scales puts in a different light the issue of territorial diversity, and improves territorial analysis.Keywords: Institutions; Territory; Territorial Governance; Regional Development.
