Abstract
Policy reversals represent a particular type of policy change. Reversals refer specifically to instances when a policy is adopted or discontinued despite previously adopted positions. In cases of reversals, decision makers have reassessed their core values usually because of substantive events in the policy parameter. Although reversals represent a stark redirection, they could not take place without prior institutionalization in the field. We use Title III of the Patriot Act, which deals among other things with money laundering and terrorist financing, to illustrate our point.
