Introduction: Integrating gender - intellectual and 'real world' mainstreaming (2000, background): “As rationalists acknowledge, ideas and knowledge constitute important resources for interest groups, which serve to mobilize individuals, 'epistemic communities' (Haas 1992) and 'advocacy coalitions' (Sabatier 1998), and/or to legitimize particular policies (Dudley and Richardson 1999).”
The role of ideas in policy transfer: the case of UK smoking bans since devolution (2009, unknown): “This knowledge was promoted by an ‘epistemic community’ (or network of knowledge-based experts – Haas 1992: 3) of doctors and public health officials providing the scientific basis for tobacco control, combined with a much broader ‘advocacy coalition’ (Sabatier 1998) of anti-smoking interest…”
The rise of international large-scale assessments and rationales for participation (2017, methodology): “For example, while PISA claims to provide countries with an objective evidence-base for policy, Bloem (2015a) shows how the OECD went from producing and analysing data during the first two PISA implementations, to interpreting the data and producing recommendations in order to increase the policy re”
Standardizing and disseminating knowledge: the role of the OECD in global governance (2009, background): “‘Epistemic communities’ (Haas, 1992) or networks of knowledgebased experts – sometimes operating through international organizations, other times through informal networks – are engaged in identifying state interests and/ or common problems to be tackled in a coordinated manner.”
Globalization, harmonization, and competition: the different pathways to policy convergence (2005, background): “…of global civil society (Wapner 1995; Keck and Sikkink 1998), the role of international governmental organizations (Meyer et al. 1997; Finnemore 1996), the prominence of epistemic communities (Haas 1992; Braithwaite and Drahos 1999), and the dominance of capital markets (Goodman and Pauly 1993).”
The parameters of policy portfolios: verticality and horizontality in design spaces and their consequences for policy mix formulation (2015, background): “Increasing the level of complexity from horizontal to vertical brings in cross-sectoral or cross-national epistemic actors (Haas, 1992), including political ones, and often involves the assessment and use of politically contested evidence and criteria (Gilabert and LawfordSmith, 2012).”
‘Doing’ health policy analysis: methodological and conceptual reflections and challenges (2008, background): “Over time, such researchers will typically move in and out of various policy networks: sometimes directly implicated in policy communities, other times more loosely as part of issue networks or epistemic communities (Haas 1992) that provide public commentary on policy developments.”
Causes and conditions of cross-national policy convergence (2005, background): “Transnational problem-solving typically occurs within transnational élite networks or epistemic communities, defined as networks of policy experts who share common principled beliefs over ends, causal beliefs over means and common standards of accruing and testing new knowledge (Haas 1992: 3).”
The Global Diffusion of Regulatory Capitalism (2005, background): “Thus, it is argued that a new division of labor between state and society (e.g., privatization) is accompanied by an increase in delegation, proliferation of new technologies of regulation, formalization of interinstitutional and intrainstitutional relations, and the proliferation of mechanisms of…”
The Global Diffusion of Public Policies: Social Construction, Coercion, Competition or Learning? (2007, background): “The fact that they are endorsed by a powerful actor is seldom enough; most policies must be theorized and promoted by epistemic communities or policy entrepreneurs (Haas 1992, Mintrom 1997, Mintrom & Vergari 1998).”
Organizations, Regulation, and Economic Behavior: Regulatory Dynamics and Forms from the Nineteenth to Twenty-First Century (2008, background): “Activist-oriented transnational advocacy networks (Keck & Sikkink 1998) and expert epistemic communities (Haas 1992) also contribute regularly to the construction and operation of transnational regulatory orders, as do international business service firms (Strange 1996).”
Dynamic Systems and the Challenge of Sustainability (2007, background): “The building of 'epistemic communities' (cf. Haas, 1992) of shared understanding of and common commitment to linking environmental and economic development concerns -has become a major concern across the world.”
Academic Entrepreneurs: Organizational Change at the Individual Level (2008, background): “Many authors have argued that social institutions, with educational institutions being a key subset, mold individual perspective by promoting, both implicitly and explicitly, a particular set of norms and values (Schein 1985, Locke 1985, Haas 1992, Calori et al. 1997, Biglaiser 2002).”
Emergence and development of the National Innovation Systems concept (2006, background): “According to Peter Haas (1992), epistemic communities can “influence national governments and international organizations by occupying niches in advisory and regulatory bodies.”
