This research extends theorizing about the implications of political environments to the content of policy areas.

The result is a policy space labeled Arctic policy that lacks policy coherence. We suggest that similar features of component‐based policymaking help explain limited policy coherence for a variety of policy areas such as policies for children, families, rural areas, urban areas, and women in the United States. |
