Passive-Aggressive Policymaking: The Reversal of Policy Through Indirect Means
Abstract
This dissertation examines how policy advocacy networks attempt to reverse policy losses using passive-aggressive policymaking: policymaking that is indirect, deceptive, and intentional. I examine passive-aggressive policymaking in the creation of abortion legislation through a multinational quantitative study of abortion legislation, as well as case studies that focus on the United States and Canada.
