• Ambiguity, multiple streams, and EU policy (2013, background): “…show how the lens’s focus on context and agency productively explains the complex interactions among EU institutions, issues and policy entrepreneurs, but we also go beyond Zahariadis (2008) to stress the need for further clarification of testable hypotheses and the role of policy entrepreneurship.”
• Harnessing theories of the policy process for analysing the politics of sustainability transitions: A critical survey (2017, background): “For example, the MSA is very popular for analysing messy policy change processes within the European Union as a complement to rational institutionalism approaches (Copeland and James, 2014; Zahariadis, 2008) and has been applied to the higher education domain (Ness and Mistretta 2009).”
• Multiple streams in EU policy-making: the case of the 2005 sugar reform (2011, background): “This stands as a counterpoint to claims of institutional fluidity or even ‘deinstitutionalization’ in the EU (Zahariadis 2008).”
• The politics of governance architectures: creation, change and effects of the EU Lisbon Strategy (2011, unknown): “Mulitple streams has been identified with the triad of problems, policy solutions and politics – the three streams originally identified in United States (US) public policy and more recently applied to the analysis of EU public policy (Zahariadis 2008).”
• Policy windows, ambiguity and Commission entrepreneurship: explaining the relaunch of the European Union's economic reform agenda (2014, background): “Although the approach has generated a series of hypothetical propositions, these have yet to be rigorously tested (Zahariadis 2008: 525).”
• A River Runs Through It: A Multiple Streams Meta‐Review (2016, methodology): “For those applications employing the policy entrepreneur, access is identified in 7 percent (e.g., Marier & Mayer, 2007), resources in 12 percent (e.g., Mintrom, 2013; Oborn, Barrett, & Exworthy, 2011), and strategies in 15 percent (e.g., Huitema et al., 2011; Zahariadis, 2008).”
