There and Back Again: A Tale of the Advocacy Coalition Framework
本文梳理了2007至2014年间161篇应用倡导联盟框架（ACF）的文献，分析其应用广度与深度，发现该框架在环境与能源政策、国家层面子系统及定性方法中应用最多，并探讨了倡导联盟、政策变化和政策学习三个理论焦点的应用情况。
To better understand how the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) is applied, this article catalogues and analyzes 161 applications of the ACF from 2007 to 2014. Building on a previous review of 80 applications of the ACF (1987–2006) conducted by Weible, Sabatier, and McQueen in 2009, this review examines both the breadth and depth of the framework. In terms of breadth, there are over 130 unique first authors from 25 countries, in almost 100 journals applying the framework, including a majority outside of the United States. In terms of depth, a plurality of applications analyzes environment and energy, subsystems at the national level, and utilizes qualitative methods of data collection and analyses. This review also explores how the three theoretical foci of the framework—advocacy coalitions, policy change, and policy‐oriented learning—are applied. Our findings suggest that the ACF balances common approaches for applying the framework with the specificity of particular contexts.
