Edited by Nikolaos Zahariadis, Mertie Buckman Chair and Professor of International Studies, Rhodes College, US, Nicole Herweg, Research Fellow, Reimut Zohlnhöfer, Professor of Political Science, Ruprecht-Karls-University, Heidelberg, Germany and Evangelia Petridou, Associate Professor of Political Science, Mid Sweden University, Sweden, and Senior Researcher, NTNU Social Research, Norway<i>‘Top scholars Zahariadis, Herweg, Zohlnhöfer, and Petridou offer a nuanced and sophisticated presentation of the Multiple Streams Framework. They are supported by applications of MSF emphasizing rich theoretical development and comparisons. This edited volume provides an essential reading to anyone interested in policy choice and the policy process.’</i>

<i>‘A comprehensive account of a major and very successful approach to policy change, written by the leaders in the field. Highly informative on the theoretical and empirical developments of the Multiple Streams Framework, this book takes the reader on an exploration of policy change over time and across different sub-national, national, and international domains.’</i>

<i>'The Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) became one of the most used theories of the policy process, but most tend to use MSF loosely without contributing to theoretical coherence and advance. Therefore, this book does policy scholars a great service by showing how to foster and use the MSF state of the art.'</i>
- Paul Cairney, University of Stirling, UK,
Considering the MSF at the theoretical level, contributors assess the assumptions, structure and logic of the framework before examining the scope of reforms, multilevel influence and interaction, coupling as a process, and the motives of policy entrepreneurs. Using a diverse array of cases from around the world at sub-national, national, and international levels of governance, chapters apply the framework to such diverse topics as climate policy in Europe, soil pollution laws in China, pandemic management in Turkey and Bolsonaro’s gun liberalization agenda in Brazil. Ultimately, the Modern Guide demonstrates that public policy is a process replete with bias, language and symbols among interacting policy actors who generate conflicting messages in staged settings of political power.
Situating the framework within broader debates of the policy process, this innovative Modern Guide will be vital to students and scholars of political science, public policy, and public administration and management. With empirical practical applications which advance the MSF, it will also be of use to policymakers globally.
