尽管结构和约束与政策制定的结果相关，但代理机构成为解释政策动态的一个关键方面。事实上，代理是一个可以根据其经验参考和政策背景包含不同成分的概念。在政策研究中，不同的代理被概念化为与政策制定相关，但它们解决的是随机进入政策过程以做出特定贡献的类似个人的问题。本文提出了去个性化代理在政策动态，认为不同类型的代理可以归因于特定的行动模式，相关的任务是一个必要的因素的稳定性和变化的政策动态。因此，我们提出了三种类型的模式-创业，经纪和领导，我们展示了如何使用这些概念可以帮助更好地订购，描述和把握代理政策动态。
Despite the relevance of structures and constraints to the outcomes of policy‐making, agency emerges as a key aspect in accounting for policy dynamics. Indeed, agency is a concept that may embrace different components according to their empirical reference and policy context.In policy studies, different agents are conceptualized to be relevant in policy‐making, but they address the issues of similar individuals who randomly jump into the policy process to make a specific contribution. This paper proposes to de‐personalize agency in policy dynamics by arguing that the different types of agents can be attributed to specific patterns of action and that related tasks are a necessary element of stability and change in policy dynamics. Thus, we propose three types of patterns—entrepreneurship, brokerage, and leadership—and we show how the use of these concepts can help to better order, describe, and grasp agency in policy dynamics.
