Issue Networks and Nonprofit Organizations

Review of Policy Research, 1995, vol. 14, issue 1‐2, 195-204

Abstract: Nonprofit organizations play an important role in the development of public policy. Traditionally, this involvement is characterized as nonprofit interest group representation, aimed at influencing public policy through lobbying and mobilizing activities. This does not adequately reflect or explain the complex interactions of the state and nonprofit organizations regarding public policy formulation, nor the multiple roles that may be played. A recent study of housing policy changes exposes hidden issue networks that may operate across public and nonprofit sectors. Through their involvement in the formative phases of public policy in issue networks, nonprofit policy activists play an active role as “coproducers” of public policy.
