Chapter 3: Multiple-Streams Framework
True or False. All policy ideas are accepted and implemented right away.
What is False?
This is the traditional model that the Punctuated-Equilibrium Theory challenges.
What is Incrementalism?
True or False. Policy-oriented learning mainly changes deep core beliefs.
What is false.
This framework provides a lens to explain how policies are made under unclear or uncertain conditions?
What is the Multiple Streams Framework?
The three streams of the MS Theory that flow independently of each other.
What is Political, Policies, and Politics?
These are networks of specialists and institutions that handle issues with low visibility and incremental change.
What are policy subsystems (or subsystem politics)?
These groups of actors share beliefs and work together to influence policy within a subsystem.
What are advocacy coalitions?
Long periods of stability + sudden bursts of major change = policymaking
What is the Punctuated-Equilibrium Theory?
This concept describes the limited time period when policymakers can push through change.
What is a policy window?
This concept explains that policymakers make decisions with limited information and time.
What is bounded rationality?
This type of learning occurs gradually through research and experience, mainly affecting secondary beliefs.
What is policy-oriented learning?
This framework explains how belief systems among groups translate into policy outcomes over time.
What is the Advocacy Coalition Framework?
This model influenced the MS Framework and describes decision-making as chaotic and disorganized.
What is the Garbage Can Model?
This type of feedback resists change and maintains stability within subsystems.
What is negative feedback?
The Advocacy Coalition Framework differs from this type of choice Framework.
What is Rational Choice Framework?
This framework explains how attention shifts from low-visibility subsystems to high-visibility national debates.
What is Punctuated-Equilibrium Theory?
When many ideas are floating around and competing for attention and approval.
What is the "policy soup?"
This explains how an image is framed or understood by the public using both facts and values/emotions.
What are policy images?
These sudden events, like economic crises or political shifts, disrupt policy systems and create opportunities for change.
What are external shocks?
This framework highlights external shocks, internal shocks, and policy brokers as key to policy change.
What is the Advocacy Coalition Framework?
