This research was supported by the UK Higher Education Authority / Parliamentary Outreach Service and European Research Councilâs grant no. 230267 for the project of Analysis of Learning in Regulatory Governance, ALREG (http://centres.exeter.ac.uk/ceg/research/ALREG/index.php).publication-status: SubmittedThis chapter uses the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) to analyse and compare the parliamentary hearings on the âArab Springâ of 2011/12 in the UK and the USA. The presence of bias is the main rationale for bringing experts into parliamentary life. However, drawing on the insights of behavioural sciences, our findings show that the politiciansâ heuristics were not âfixedâ by expertsâ testimonies. Rather than generate narrative learning, or at least reduce bias, we have found that there is more evidence for narratives as political devices. Beyond this, the chapter demonstrates the utility for NPF for those who operate in âqualitative analysis modeâ and evaluate the work of democratic institutions
