Preferred term

policy networks and communications  

Definition

  • While there are several definitions of policy networks, there is widespread agreement among scholars that these networks are formed by the patterns of relations between interdependent actors—most commonly identified as politicians, interest groups, public citizens, corporations, or foreign figures—involved in processes affecting the design or implementation of public policy. By definition, the interdependency characterizing these relationships requires actors to engage in communication exchanges with one another.
