Policy entrepreneurship in the European Parliament: reconsidering the influence of rapporteurs
研究了欧洲议会报告人在何种条件下能真正发挥影响力，结合正式与非正式议程设置资源，以欧盟化学品法规REACH为例说明制度与观念因素的相互依赖。
Rapporteurs have been widely recognized as influential agents within the European Parliament (EP). But under what conditions are they really able to wield influence? Linking two strands of literature largely isolated from each other, this article considers both formal and informal agenda-setting resources to address this question. Formal agenda-setting stresses the role of institutionally defined prerogatives and constraints. Informal agenda-setting offers a meaningful link to the multiple streams framework (MSF), which attributes causal power to agency, ideas and timing. A case study on the EU chemicals regulation REACH illustrates the interdependence of institutional and ideational factors in policy entrepreneurship.
