Abstract : Policy networks in Ireland: structure and change
In the second half of 2008, Ireland has moved from a boom to bust economy and the severe restrictions placed on irish public expenditure, in the light of the international banking crisis, has resulted in considerable political fall-out. The focus of this paper is on mapping and modelling the the change in a numer of core policy networks in ireland over this time period. Using SIENA to analyse the empirical network data, we explore a model of behaviour which compares different strategies for building contacts in the network depending on the nature of the collective action problem faced by the organisations in the network.
