The other side of the boundary: Productive interactions seen from the policy side

Silje Tellmann and Magnus Gulbrandsen look at boundary work in science-policy relations from the policy side and find that it has many of the same characteristics as the boundary work of scientists, and that it seems to follow certain cycles where boundaries are either defended or challenged. They conclude that boundary work is a constructive part of productive interactions that enables users to balance the diverse relations they engage in and create a strategic room for maneuvering.
