72	FÖRESTÄLLNINGAR OCH INTRESSEN : En fallstudie utifrån Advocacy Coalition Framework av en lokal policyprocess om expropriation Blomqvist, Fredrik January 2016 (has links) This paper examines the viability of the Advocacy Coalition Framework(ACF) by applying it in a single case study. The aim is to advance the framework’s theoretical understanding of the policy process and its usefulness for analyzing local policy contexts. The case addressed is a long-spun policy conflict regarding the use of compulsory acquisition of real estate by a Swedish municipality for the sake of local business development. Analyzed data consisted of the municipality diary on the issue, correspondence between actors, public statements, official and internal documents and interviews with actors and non-actors. The ACF is a good starting point for understanding this local policy process, largely because of the great flexibility of its concepts. However, its basic assumptions on beliefs cannot fully explain observed events. Relating to this, the paper has five main findings. First, although beliefs play an important role in forming policy action, so does interests. Second, a conjunction of beliefs and self-interest is an important condition for some actors’ actions. Third, coalition formation is not dependent on similarity of beliefs but on similarity of policy objectives. Fourth, policy objectives are resultant of beliefs for some actors, of self-interest for others and for yet others the result of both. Therefore, actors in coalition act to achieve the same policy objectives but not necessarily for the same reasons. Fifth, one non-actor refrained from policy action in spite of strong policy core beliefs due to the policy process not being a zero sum game for this non-actor. This paper supports recent studies proposing the incorporation of interests into the ACF. For further development of the ACF the paper suggests further research to answer two generic questions: What is the relationship betweeninterests and beliefs? Are potential actors more likely to take policy action inzero sum game policy processes? For the ACF to cope with certain conditionsin local contexts the paper suggest further research into the question: Is the level of abstraction of policy issues key in understanding the involvement of legal and natural persons and their basis for policy action? policy process policyprocess advocacy coalition framework advocacy coalition framework acf beliefs interests beliefs and interests interests and beliefs local policy municipality sweden scandinavia compulsory acquisition of real estate rule of law business trade industry business development coalition formation action policy action policy objectives objectives zero sum game policy abstraction realism constructivism policy process policyprocess advocacy coalition framework advocacy coalition framework acf påverkan koalition föreställningar intressen värderingar beliefs interests sverige realism constructivism lokal politik local policy kommunpolitik kommun näringsliv expropriation rättssäkerhet rättsstat fastighet plan och bygglagen näringslivsutveckling näringsliv koalitionsformering policyagerande action policymål objectives nollsummespel zero sum game policyabstraktion policyabstraction

Η βασική θεώρηση της εργασίας είναι ότι δρώντες (συλλογικοί και μεμονωμένοι) σχηματίζουν δίκτυα πολιτικής τα οποία συνασπίζονται και συγκρούονται με άλλους αντίστοιχους συνασπισμούς δικτύων έχοντας ως διακύβευμα την προώθηση και εφαρμογή πολιτικών σχετικά με το πανεπιστήμιο. Από την ανάλυση της ελληνικής περίπτωσης διαφαίνεται ότι κάθε προσπάθεια προώθησης ενός θεσμοποιημένου συστήματος διασφάλισης της ποιότητας στα ελληνικά πανεπιστήμια είχε ως αποτέλεσμα την αύξηση της έντασης στο χώρο του πανεπιστημίου. Οι ελληνικές κυβερνήσεις εντατικοποίησαν τις προσπάθειές τους για την ψήφιση και εφαρμογή ενός σχετικού νόμου, καθώς το θέμα της διασφάλισης της ποιότητας είχε τεθεί ως κεντρικό, ήδη από το 1998, μέσω των ευρωπαϊκών εκπαιδευτικών πολιτικών στην ανώτατη εκπαίδευση. Η παραγωγή, η επεξεργασία και η ερμηνεία των ερευνητικών δεδομένων οδήγησε επιγραμματικά στα κεντρικά ευρήματα της παρούσης διδακτορικής διατριβής: Η πρώτη αλλαγή πολιτικής πραγματοποιείται το 2005 με την παραγωγή συγκεκριμένου προγράμματος πολιτικής για τη διασφάλιση της ποιότητας στο ελληνικό πανεπιστήμιο (Ν.3374/2005). Η αλλαγή αυτή πραγματοποιείται κυρίως εξαιτίας των εξωτερικών συνθηκών του υποσυστήματος. Τόσο πριν από την παραγωγή του προγράμματος όσο και αμέσως μετά δημιουργούνται δύο ισχυροί αντιτιθέμενοι συνασπισμοί δικτύων με συγκρίσιμους πόρους. Κατά τη διάρκεια της αρχικής περιόδου εφαρμογής του προγράμματος, οι εξελίξεις εντός του υποσυστήματος πολιτικής του ελληνικού πανεπιστημίου προκαλούν αλλαγές στους πόρους των δύο συνασπισμών και στη θέση ισορροπίας της ισχύος. Ο συνασπισμός δικτύων «Εναντίον» του προγράμματος πολιτικής φαίνεται να αποδυναμώνεται διαρκώς με αποτέλεσμα να μην μπορεί να διατηρήσει με αποτελεσματικό τρόπο την ένταση σε υψηλά επίπεδα. Ο δε συνασπισμός «Υπέρ» φαίνεται να ισχυροποιείται αρκετά έναντι του αντιτιθέμενου συνασπισμού, με αποτέλεσμα να μπορεί να μεταβάλλει τις μεταξύ τους ισορροπίες ώστε να δημιουργούνται σαφώς ευνοϊκότερες συνθήκες για την υλοποίηση του προγράμματος, ιδιαίτερα από το 2008 και μετά. Οι παραπάνω αλλαγές πολιτικής, αν και σημαντικές, δεν συνοδεύονται από παράλληλη παραγωγή γνώσης εξαιτίας πολιτικής εμπειρίας τόσο εντός όσο και μεταξύ των αντιμαχόμενων συνασπισμών δικτύων. Αυτό συμβαίνει παρά το γεγονός ότι η πολιτική εμπειρία δεν υπήρξε αμελητέα καθώς η σύγκρουση και η αντιπαράθεση για το συγκεκριμένο ζήτημα πολιτικής ήταν διαρκώς παρούσα για μία δεκαετία περίπου. / The present thesis aims to the contribution in analysis and interpretation of intensity and conflict during the establishment and implementation of policy programs relative with Quality Assurance in Greek Universities. The basic view of this thesis is that actors form policy networks which create advocacy coalitions and collide with other corresponding network coalitions having at risk the establishment and implementation of policies programs for universities. It seems that in Greece whenever an effort for the establishment of institutionalized quality assurance system takes place the result is the presence of intensity and conflict. However, European educational policies in higher education since 1998 have placed quality assurance as one of the main action lines, fact that results the intensifying of efforts of Greek governments for the voting and implementation of a relative law. The production, the analysis and finally the interpretation of research data led succinctly to the central findings of the present thesis: In 2005 due to external to the policy sub-system events and parameters a first policy change takes place with the establishment of a policy program of quality assurance in universities (Law 3374/2005). So much before the establishment of the policy program what immediately afterwards, at the first period of implementation, two powerful conflicting advocacy coalition networks with comparable resources are created. During the initial period of the policy program implementation developments internal to the policy sub-system of Greek university cause changes in the allocation of resources in the two coalition networks. The advocacy coalition network “Against” the policy program appears to be permanently undermined. As a result this coalition finds difficulties on maintaining with effective way the intensity in high levels. The advocacy coalition network “In favour” to the policy program appears to be strengthened enough against the conflicting coalition. Therefore, this coalition is able to alter the balance point between the two advocacy coalitions and to create more favourable conditions for the implementation of the policy program particularly from 2008 and afterwards. These policy changes, no matter how important they are, they are not accompanied by production of “policy oriented learning” inside or across the conflicting advocacy coalitions. Policy oriented learning does not take place despite the fact that the policy experience of all actors and networks on this specific policy theme was not negligible since the conflict and the juxtaposition on the specific policy issue was continuously present for roughly a decade.

74	政府採購政策變遷之研究– 以臺北市政府聯合採購發包中心設置為例 / A Study on the Policy Change of Government Procurement – Case Study of Contract Centers Mechanism of Taipei City Government 呂蕙蕙, Lu, Hui Hui Unknown Date (has links) 有關政府採購研究，現行大部分關注在法律層面、制度層面。本研究擬從政策變遷與宏觀角度切入，就發包中心設置過程因果關係，發現決策者信念、政策中間人、聯盟運作等對政策影響。本文擬透過Sabatier & Jenkins-Smith 所建構政策倡議聯盟架構（Policy Advocacy Coalition Framework，[PACF ]），從不同面相研究觀察，以宏觀之政策面，研究分析市府發包中心重新設置之動態過程。本研究採文獻分析法、深入訪談及焦點團體訪談法，分析探討1995至2015年臺北市政府聯合採購發包中心設置之政策變遷過程。藉由分析架構內外在系統的影響因素，探討執政輪替與決策者的信念是否為影響政策變遷主要因素。經研究發現：第一，市府倡議聯盟間（發包中心與洽辦單位、集中採購與分散採購）透過政策導向的學習，跨越聯盟達成共識。第二，避免陳水扁時代採購案件延宕，改以折衷版集中採購。第三，柯文哲市長主張集中採購，設置發包中心政策是其競選政策白皮書。第四，市府發包中心設置政策變遷主因，決策者信念與執政輪替。 / With regard to government procurement research, most of them focus on the legal and institutional aspects. This study intends to proceed from the perspective of policy changes and macroeconomics. It will investigate the cause-and-effect relationship of the setup process of the contract issuing center, and discover the impact of decision makers' beliefs, policy middlemen, and alliance operations on the policy. Using the policy advocacy coalition framework (PACF) constructed by Sabatier & Jenkins-Smith , we observe and analyze the dynamic process of the resetting of the city's outsourcing centers. This study used document analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group interviews to analyze and explore the process of policy changes at the Joint Purchasing and Contracting Center of the Taipei City Government from 1995 to 2015. By analyzing the influencing factors of the internal and external systems of the architecture, it is discussed whether the alternation of governance rotation and decision makers' beliefs are the main factors affecting policy changes. The study found that: First, the city’s initiative among the alliances (contracting centers and contact agencies, centralized procurement and decentralized procurement) through policy-oriented learning, reached consensus across the alliance. Second, to avoid delays in Chen Shui-bian’s era of procurement cases , it used eclectic centralized procurement. Thirdly, Mayor Ko Wen-je advocated centralized procurement and set up a contract center policy as a white paper on his election policy. Fourth, the main reasons for the policy changes in the city's outsourcing centers are decision makers' beliefs and governance rotation. 臺北市政府聯合採購發包中心政策變遷政策倡議聯盟架構決策者信念政策中間人 Policy changes Policy advocacy coalition framework Decision makers' beliefs Policy middleman

76	Nevládní neziskové organizace jako externí "dodavatelé" sociální politiky ve státech, kde neexistuje vlastní sociální politika / Non-Government Organizations as external "suppliers" of social policy in states where is not social policy of their own Yaklyushyna, Oleksandra January 2020 (has links) The effectiveness of development cooperation is currently widely discussed. Development cooperation has come to be criticized, both in terms of its appropriateness and for failing to address some of the global challenges that affect poorer nations. Respecting the differences of developing countries, therefore, plays an important role. It is a question of whether developed countries are aware of cultural and other differences and are proceeding in their help concerning these differences. The problem that the thesis wants to draw attention to is the functionality of development cooperation, which can be influenced by various actors and their beliefs. The main goal is to try to explain, using the theory named Advocacy Coalition Framework, how the beliefs of actors can affect development cooperation. One of the other partial goals is to find out whether and how advocacy coalitions are formed in the field of development cooperation. The contribution of the work is mainly the critical application of the ACF theory in the field of development cooperation in the environment of the Republic of Kenya, as well as the application of the Q method in the research of the perspectives of selected actors. According to the author, the work can also have other benefits such as providing a new perspective on the issue of...
77	Regularizace nelegální migrace jako proces tvorby veřejných politik / Regularization of Illegal Migration as a Policy-making Process Dumont, Anna January 2012 (has links) 'Regularization of Illegal Migration as a Policy-making Process' deals with the social problem of having a high number of irregular migrants in the Czech Republic and regularization as a tool that could help reduce it. Regularization is seen as a political process theoretically described by using the Advocacy Coalition Framework. This thesis tries to find normative definitions of the two coalitions, which hold different beliefs and two different points of view rather than describe the problem. The work is partly designed as a case study in which the theory is applied to the issue of regularization in part there is also an explanation of regularization as well as the Advocacy Coalition Framework. The thesis defines the two coalitions within the subsystem - the for-regularization and anti-regularization coalitions. Each coalition has its deep core and policy core beliefs that determine the relationship to the topic as well as the relationship between the coalitions themselves. In conclusion, the author summarized the information about the coalitions and their belief in three comparative tables where one can confront their approaches. The last part also contains a chapter on The Changes of Beliefs and Policies, where there is an introduction of two policies: the system of voluntary return and that...
