Narrative power in the narrative policy framework
针对叙事政策框架缺乏对权力的清晰解释，本文提出一个概念模型，将权力表达（权力对、权力与、权力凌驾）嵌入叙事结构，并用反事实方法测量权力，为政策研究者提供分析叙事权力的操作化工具。
Abstract The Narrative Policy Framework lacks clear and empirical explanations of power. Yet, the study of narratives is inherently the study of power in shaping policy outputs and decisions. We develop a conceptual model positing that expressions of power ( power to , with, and over ) may be discovered in narrative constructs (e.g., narrative structure, communication forum). We suggest that the dilemma of measuring the “unobserved” in power may be addressed methodologically using a counterfactual (e.g., experiment, comparative study). Finally, we uphold the use of keystone NPF variables (e.g., policy decisions, attention) as proxy measures of the outcomes of narrative power in the policy process. Taken together, this model advances the operationalization and measurement of narrative power in the policy process.
