随着科学成为应对社会复杂挑战的日益重要的资源,对产生科学的研究人员提出了广泛的要求,创造干预政策或实践的有价值的专业知识需要知识经纪人促进研究与政策之间的互动。然而,现有的研究缺乏一个令人信服的帐户的方式,经纪人进行,以获得信誉。基于对12个政策研究环境的混合方法分析,我概述了一套获得象征性权力的新策略,即政策专家通过在“思想世界”和“政策与实践世界”之间绘制的概念距离来定位自己和他人。学科距离将研究区分为学科或非学科,认识距离在复杂的专家研究和直接可消化的产出之间建立了一个边界,时间距离代表了缓慢严格的研究和敏捷的响应分析的分离,经济距离将研究定位为纯粹和内在的或可销售和可资助的。我开发了一个理论帐户,解开研究社区之间的边界,并显示这些边界如何允许政策研究行为体实现各种战略目标。
As science becomes an increasingly crucial resource for addressing complex challenges in society, extensive demands are placed upon the researchers who produce it. Creating valuable expert knowledge that intervenes in policy or practice requires knowledge brokers to facilitate interactions at the boundary between research and policy. Yet, existing research lacks a compelling account of the ways in which brokerage is performed to gain credibility. Drawing on mixed‐method analysis of 12 policy research settings, I outline a novel set of strategies for attaining symbolic power, whereby policy experts position themselves and others via conceptual distances drawn between the “world of ideas” and the “world of policy and practice.” Disciplinary distance works to situate research as either disciplinary or undisciplinary, epistemic distance creates a boundary between complex specialist research and direct digestible outputs, temporal distance represents the separation of slow rigorous research and agile responsive analysis, and economic distance situates research as either pure and intrinsic or marketable and fundable. I develop a theoretical account that unpacks the boundaries between research communities and shows how these boundaries permit policy research actors to achieve various strategic aims.
