This paper investigates the development of a mission-oriented innovation policy approach at a national level. The empirical case that forms the core of the paper is a policy process towards shaping future research and innovation policies and priorities in Norway. The concept “mission-oriented research and innovation policy” was introduced in the policy process and steps were initiated to develop and implement missions as a new policy approach to address grand challenges. Based on a narrative case study and interviews with 33 policymakers, the paper illuminates the “inner life” of a policy process and the meanings and actions agents bring to it, and how this shapes policy formulation. The paper draws on policy process theories, and particularly highlights the role of actors, ideas and anchoring, and illustrates how these interrelated elements of a policy process occur both within and across bureaucratic and political arenas.

幕后：在国家背景下制定以任务为导向的创新政策的政治和实用主义


本文研究了国家层面以任务为导向的创新政策方法的发展。构成本文核心的实证案例是制定挪威未来研究和创新政策及优先事项的政策过程。政策制定过程中引入了“以任务为导向的研究和创新政策”的概念，并采取措施制定和实施任务，作为应对重大挑战的新政策方法。该论文基于叙述性案例研究和对 33 名政策制定者的采访，阐明了政策过程的“内在生活”以及行动者为其带来的意义和行动，以及这如何影响政策制定。本文借鉴了政策过程理论，特别强调了行动者、想法和锚定的作用，并说明了政策过程中这些相互关联的要素如何在官僚和政治领域内部和之间发生。
