John Kingdon

John Kingdon is a political scientist known for his work on public policy, particularly his "Multiple Streams Framework." He explains how policy issues gain attention and lead to decisions. According to Kingdon, three key elements must converge: problems (issues needing solutions), policies (feasible solutions), and politics (the political climate). When these streams align, a window of opportunity opens for change. His framework helps us understand how ideas become policies, highlighting the importance of timing, advocacy, and context in decision-making processes in government.
