The interactive effects of policies: Insights for policy feedback theory from a qualitative study on homelessness
通过比较澳大利亚墨尔本和加拿大多伦多的无家可归现象，基于100多份访谈，揭示政策设计特征（如慷慨程度和交付方式）如何相互作用，对政治参与产生抵消或互补效应。
Abstract The policy feedback literature has long argued that policies influence politics. Several scholars have examined the interpretive and resource effects of policies on political participation. However, how different policy design characteristics – say their generosity and their delivery – interact to influence political engagement requires further attention. This article demonstrates that policy characteristics within and between policies interact and can have counteracting or complementary effects on engagement. Through a comparative study of homelessness in Melbourne, Australia and Toronto, Canada, and drawing on over 100 interviews with individuals experiencing homelessness, service providers, and policymakers, this article demonstrates the complex effects of policies. Qualitative interview data reveal that different characteristics of policy interact to influence the venue and form of participation, as well as the experiences associated. Anatomizing policies provides nuance to our understanding of effects and interactions with important contributions and areas of future research for policy feedback theory.
