摘要
Policy entrepreneurs are expected players in modern democracy. Nevertheless, the relationship between political context and successful policy entrepreneurship has been incompletely addressed. This is particularly the case when it comes to public health issues. We examine comparative policy entrepreneurship by comparing the emergence of policy entrepreneurs surrounding autism in Canada and the United States. Our study of federal autism policy in Canada and the United States finds that policy entrepreneurs in the two countries created different public problems and policy linkages to address the same emerging social condition.
