| Title | Social Movements and Policy Change: Case Study on Caregiver Benefit Policies in Hungary |
| Summary | This case study of the Hungarian disability movement examines its impact on changes in caregiver benefit policies. By analyzing the influence of movement infrastructure, political allies and public opinion, the article contributes to a more systematic understanding of the policy impact of movements. The analysis draws on the movement infrastructure model of Andrews (2001) and the joint-effect model of Giugni and Passy (1998). Findings demonstrate the importance of a strong movement infrastructure, where organizations are able to employ both “insider” and “outsider” strategies. At the same time, the presence or absence of alignment of strategies between movement organizations influences the movement’s impact on policy formulation and policy implementation. The study also shows that resonant framing with government policies can increase the opportunity for the intervention of a policy entrepreneur. |
