Document Summary
Some things they talked about in their platform will not happen. Changes to public policy will occur that weren"t discussed or promised. *the systemic process/ ow model* - don"t need to know the diagram/terms or the second model. Regularized unidirectional ow (left to right) through identi able channels. De ned spatial power (people on one end of the loop (right end) are more powerful than those. Mechanistic - same inputs should lead to same outputs - no room for change, chance etc on the left side. Not clear where the individual streams are going to go. If they come together, they open a policy window, a chance (it can open and close) for change! Each stream has its own unpredictable dynamic. Linking of streams is key for opening change for policy. Probabilistic - same input should, but doesn"t always, lead to the same outcome. Central question - how does an issue end up on the political agenda.
