Policy networks and policy change in organic agriculture: a comparative analysis of the UK and Ireland
比较了英国和爱尔兰自1980年代末以来的有机农业政策,聚焦政策网络如何影响监管安排和政策变迁,对研究农业政策与政策网络的学者有参考价值。
This paper takes a comparative case–study approach, located within the literature on policy networks, to organic agriculture policy in the United Kingdom and Ireland since the late 1980s. An examination of policy development for the organic sector focuses primarily on regulatory arrangements. The core of the analysis applies some prominent themes in the policy network literature to the organic sector: the debate about sectoral and sub–sectoral networks, the relationship between networks, context and outcomes, and the role of the state and ideas in promoting policy change.
