| Abstract: | The central question of this research is: How do political-scientific institutes help bridge the gap between science and politics? Three cases are analysed to find an answer to this research question. Before the analyse is started, the theory chapter selects a framework of models of knowledge exchange which are used to analyse the cases. Case A is hypothesized to be understood as the co-production model of knowledge exchange, Case B is hypothesized to be understood as the embedding model of knowledge exchange, and Case C is hypothesized to be understood as the knowledge broker model of knowledge exchange. The data used for the analysis include publications, year reports, statutes, and an interview with a representative of each case. The major conclusion is that for all cases some elements of the embedded model of knowledge exchange are present, probably due to the position of the political-scientific institute. Further, the different cases reflected diversity in activities (and understanding in terms of a model of knowledge exchange). Lastly, it was found that the used model of knowledge exchange only captures part of the bridging function of the political-scientific institutes. |
