A must  read for those who have not yet discovered the critical  role knowledge brokers and networks play in the many facets  of policymaking.-Kimberly DuMont, Vice President, AIR  Equity Initiative, American Institutes for Research (AIR)  In this illuminating volume, these outstanding scholars  provide us with methodological breakthroughs that shed  light on types of knowledge brokering, transactions,  preferences, and behaviors of network actors in think  tanks, the media, research and policymaking.-Christopher  Lubienski, Professor of Education Policy, Indiana  University This book demystifies how research makes its way  into public policy and shines a bright light on the  knowledge brokers who make it happen. Providing keen  insights into strategies for building more robust networks  that connect research and policy, this is the authoritative  text on how to apply network analysis to improving the use  of research evidence in policy.-Vivian Tseng, Senior Vice  President, Program William T. Grant Foundation  www.wtgrantfoundation.org This book advances knowledge  brokerage scholarship and methodology as applied to  policymaking contexts, focusing on the ways in which  knowledge and research are utilized, and go on to influence  policy and practice decisions across domains, including  communication, health and education.
