John Kingdon (political scientist)

John Kingdon is a prominent political scientist known for his work on public policy and agenda-setting. His influential concept, the "Multiple Streams Framework," describes how problems, policy solutions, and political conditions converge to shape public policy decisions.

His insights help explain how issues rise to prominence in political discussions and how government agendas are formed, influencing the way policies are developed and implemented.
