Power, Politics and evidence use
Evidence production and communication
Knowledge intermediaries and interactions
1. Learn about the context
![Page 9: Influencing Policy through Research: Introduction to Principles and Tools Arnaldo Pellini:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b357f8b9ab05999cbed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Learn about the context
Knowledge, Politics and Power (KPP)
1. Mapping the political context
2. Role of key actors
3. Types of knowledge
4. Knowledge intermediation processes
![Page 10: Influencing Policy through Research: Introduction to Principles and Tools Arnaldo Pellini:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b357f8b9ab05999cbed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Learn about the context
1. Mapping the political context
• What is the political context? • Separation of powers• Formal/informal political participation processes• Who has the strongest voices in policy debates?• How does the political context condition the behavior of
different actors involved in it and the search for knowledge?
![Page 11: Influencing Policy through Research: Introduction to Principles and Tools Arnaldo Pellini:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b357f8b9ab05999cbed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Learn about the context
2. Role of key actors
• Who is involved in policy making and knowledge processes?
• How do these actors interact and what role does knowledge play in this process?
• How do interest, values, beliefs and credibility shape the knowledge-policy interface?
![Page 12: Influencing Policy through Research: Introduction to Principles and Tools Arnaldo Pellini:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b357f8b9ab05999cbed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Learn about the context
3. Types of knowledge
• What sources of knowledge do different actors rely on and why?
• From where do they source this knowledge?• How do power relations between actors serve for
privileging some sources of knowledge versus others?
![Page 13: Influencing Policy through Research: Introduction to Principles and Tools Arnaldo Pellini:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b357f8b9ab05999cbed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. Learn about the context
4. Knowledge intermediation processes
• Are there intermediaries involved in the knowledge to policy link?
• Bearing in mind an understanding of these dynamics, what innovative ways of working could be used to mediate the knowledge-policy interface?
• When, where, how can policy makers/ decision makers make best use of knowledge in order to tackle complex problems?
