Institutions, interests and ideas: framing and explaining entrepreneurial policy change in the UK health system

Stephen Peckham, Simon Bailey and Daniel Huggins

Chapter 7 in Research Handbook on Health Care Policy, 2024, pp 101-119 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter discusses the value of using the 3Is framework as a way of understanding policy change over time and the advantages of drawing on an approach that brings together three core concepts applied in policy analysis - namely institutions, interests and ideas. It applies the framework to changes in English health policy over a 30-year time frame. It also discusses the framework of ‘structural interests’. In particular, it focuses on how a new institutional entrepreneur was able to create a dominant position to promote new policy ideas counter to those prevailing over the previous 15-20 years.
