Thanks KC! I particularly like the work of Dvora Yanow and used this methodological guide a bit during my PhD: https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/conducting-interpretive-policy-analysis/book9990. I haven't read this particular paper of hers but it looks like it might be relevant? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-8551.2004.00397.x

I also think Catherine Durose and Liz Richardson get at some of these ideas in their work on co-design and co-production (they have a good book on this in a policy context). This paper looks good too: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-53705-0_35
