“…This was the first time the ministry introduced this idea as its main argument for supporting agriculture. Consequently, a multifunctional and sustainable (at least on the surface) form of neo-productivism, called 'repositioned productivism' (Bjørkhaug et al, 2012), appeared in Norwegian agriculture. The political ambition of the white paper was clear: 'The government will use all policy instruments allowed to secure Norwegian food production' [Meld.…”

This article contributes to the Historical Institutionalism literature on stability and change by unpacking how an institution has persisted for more than 70 years despite substantial contextual changes. The overall stability of the institution comes both through changes in policy instruments and their settings, and through the incorporation of differing, but aligned rationales. Ideational multidimensionality yields stability by providing leeway to recondition the institution in response to changing circumstances. This allows for different interests in the coalition to stimulate overall institutional stability by supporting incremental changes in policy instruments whilst avoiding institutional exhaustion and third order changes. This shows that policies initiated under a certain set of circumstances may be better equipped to persist when circumstances change if they are able to incorporate differing, but aligned, rationales and to respond to upcoming issues through policy instrument changes. The theoretical arguments are exemplified through a case study analysis of Norwegian agricultural policy.
