Abstract This study explores the structure of advocacy coalitions and frames over time in South Korea's adversarial nuclear energy policy subsystem. It relies on Advocacy Coalition Frameworks Discourse Network Analysis to guide data collection from 1149 statements 502 newspaper articles Korea spanning four years. Using E‐I Index, modularity index, coalition polarization for analysis, it finds an alignment with increasing through external events ongoing adaptation these events. The findings...
The central challenge in advancing the study of public policy is developing portable approaches that capture specificity a particular context while also identifying generalities. This article explores portability Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) to South Korea. arguments are drawn from comprehensive review 67 peer-reviewed applications ACF Korea 2002 through 2014 were written English and Korean languages. These show usefulness but not without some reservations about its applicability...
Abstract This paper compares and contrasts high‐conflict policy debates over the siting of three natural gas pipeline projects at different decision stages process. draws on 600 newspaper articles spanning 3 years, analyzed through Discourse Network Analysis. Drawing from Advocacy Coalition Framework Policy Conflict framework, this finds that actor framing opposing beliefs involves more indirect than direct confrontations, with statements in media waxing waning time.
