Abstract Synopsis

  • The article discusses how gaps between health policy promises and actual practice often stem from complex relationships and power struggles among actors involved, and introduces actor interface analysis as a method to study these dynamics.
  • Through a synthesis of six key studies, the authors identify various types of actor interfaces, such as domination, control, and negotiation, which shape how power is exercised and impact policy implementation both positively and negatively.
  • The paper provides a step-by-step guide and tools like actor lifeworlds for conducting actor interface analysis, helping researchers better understand the social, organizational, and ideological factors underlying power practices in health policy.]
