Abstract
Dieser Artikel stellt einen Beitrag zur laufenden Debatte über den möglichen Ursprung und die Beschaffenheit von Policy-Wandel in heutigen, entwickelten Gesellschaften dar. Der Beitrag betont die Gestaltungskraft von politischen Institutionen und Policy-Strukturen, die zentral für den historischen Institutionalismus sind. Er zeigt, dass sowohl abrupte als auch inkrementelle Formen des Wandels von Policies nicht ohne die Berücksichtigung der Rolle von Ideen und dem, was unter „Issue Ownership “ verstanden wird, erklärt werden können. In diesem Artikel wird auf die institutionen- und ideenzentrierte Literatur zurückgegriffen, um ein kohärentes analytisches Modell für die Untersuchung von Policy-Wandel zu entwickeln. Zur Veranschaulichung des wissenschaftlichen Mehrwerts, den dieses Modell für das Verständnis von Politikwandel leistet, nimmt der Beitrag auf neuere Entwicklung der Sozialpolitik in den Vereinigten Staaten Bezug.
