Recent scholarship posits that ambiguous (‘polysemic’) ideas are effective for coalition building between diverse stakeholders: their capacity to be interpreted differently attracts different interests. Hence, in search of political solutions to ‘wicked’ and similarly complex problems, deploying polysemic ideas would be critical to effective policy-making. This paper scopes the policy-making potential of polysemic ideas by examining the impact of an ambiguous concept known as ‘One Health’ on responses to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Australia and the UK. It offers two primary arguments. Firstly, polysemic ideas can help mobilise broad attention to complex problems: since One Health became associated with AMR, political and administrative attention has grown more intense and coordinated than previously. Secondly, however, a polysemic idea alone may be insufficient to generate effective action: the contrast between Australian and UK AMR policies illustrates that polysemic ideas do not suspend interests, institutions, or ideas that can be readily deployed.

多义思想的承诺和陷阱:澳大利亚和英国的“同一个健康”和抗菌素耐药性政策

最近的学术研究认为,模棱两可的(“多义的”)想法对于在不同利益相关者之间建立联盟是有效的:他们被不同解释的能力吸引了不同的兴趣。因此,在寻找“邪恶”和类似复杂问题的政治解决方案时,部署多义思想对于有效的政策制定至关重要。本文通过研究被称为“同一个健康”的模棱两可的概念对澳大利亚和英国对抗菌素耐药性 (AMR) 的反应的影响,探讨了多义思想的决策潜力。它提供了两个主要论点。首先,多义思想有助于调动对复杂问题的广泛关注:自从 One Health 与 AMR 相关联以来,政治和行政关注比以前更加强烈和协调。然而,其次,
