Summary:The dynamics of policy advice giving in a policy advisory system (PAS) is complex, multifaceted, and relational. Research on policy advice has shifted from a "first wave" to a "second wave" that places a greater focus on the dynamics of PASs. This article expands our understanding of the impact of advice giving in a PAS by developing a framework that integrates supply, demand, content, and contextual factors. This article introduces a new type of policy actor (the "thinker in residence") to better understand the relational dynamics of a PAS and compare why some actors achieve greater impact than others.
