The dynamics by which policy ideas rise and fall can be linked to the intimate interactions between discrete physical time dimensions, such as policy windows, and distinctive perceptions of time, particularly the connections made between past, present and future in the form of narratives. Kingdon describes how ‘an idea whose time has come’ can be carried forward in the key policy change instrument of a policy window, but much remains to be understood about the dynamics of windows, including why they apparently open for a relatively short time period, and the significance of the legacy left by windows in terms of their ability to influence later events. The article seeks a greater understanding of these dynamics through an examination of the potentially vital role played by the construction of narratives. The case study is taken from the politically sensitive area of urban road pricing, in the form of the London Congestion Charge.
