Policy Stream Sample Clauses

Policy Stream. The policy stream is operationalized by analysing several scientific research reports and viable policy alternatives produced by policy communities regarding climate change and climate change policies. The policy community that was identified in the theoretical framework is the Heritage Foundation. Their database will be explored to provide a comprehensive view of their policy alternatives on climate change policies. The policy stream analysis will start by examining the relationship between the Heritage Foundation and Xxxx Industries. This will be done by looking at newspaper articles from esteemed news outlets and reports by NGO’s (e.g. Greenpeace). Furthermore, it will analyse the relationship between the Heritage Foundation and the Republican Party. By examining their relationship with these prominent actors, it will strive to analyse the impact of politicisation of science on climate change and climate change policies. Moreover, the aforementioned analysis will also help identify the policy entrepreneurs that coupled the streams and provided a viable policy alternative. This is due to the key traits a policy entrepreneur should have, which were: to define and frame a problem, provide feasible policy alternatives, have persistence, have political connections and the ability to recognize a window of opportunity (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2009: Kingdon, 1995: Xxxxxxxxxx, 2016b). The defining and framing of the problem (problem stream), the proposal of an alternative (policy stream) and the political connections (political stream) are thus coupled by the policy entrepreneur. However, the policy entrepreneur should also have the ability to recognize that there is a window of opportunity and act when the time is right. This thesis will examine if the employees of the Heritage Foundation had these key traits and were an influential factor/actor in the decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement. Stream and Actors Conceptualisation Operationalization Problem stream Main actor involved: Fox News 1: A focussing event 2: How problems are defined and framed 1: An event that caused Fox News to frame the situation in a way to gain attention from the audience and policy-makers. 2: Use of symbolic literary devices by Fox News.
