How is the Advocacy Coalition Framework Doing? Some Issues since the 2014 Agenda.

Abstract

This article presents an international review of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) from 2015 to 2018. Forty-six empirical works that use the ACF as the main model or one of the main models for the analysis of public policies were analyzed. Bibliometric data, research methodologies and theoretical components have been considered in this analysis. In addition, this article fills in a gap in previous reviews of the ACF by presenting an exploratory review of ACF applications in Latin America. Our conclusions show that the research agenda proposed in 2014 has evolved over the last few years, but still presents unexplored challenges and possibilities for researchers interested in the use of ACF. We also offer some recommendations for future research.

Segregar ou incluir? Coalizões de defesa, ideias e mudanças na educação especial do Brasil

“…Fóruns profissionais, seminários, reuniões e outros policy venues são espaços potenciais de aprendizado e de compartilhamento de crenças, dentro e entre as coalizões. Deles participam atores de importância estratégica que geram, disseminam e avaliam políticas públicas, influenciando a atuação dos policy makers (Henry et al, 2014;Ma, Lemos & Vieira, 2020;Sabatier, 1988;Weible et al, 2019).…”

“…Partindo da constatação dessa mudança no SEE brasileiro, o artigo procurou examinar seus fatores explicativos, com foco na década de 2000. Para isso, foram incorporadas premissas e orientações metodológicas da ACF, framework ainda pouco usado na América Latina (Ma et al, 2020).…”

“…As pesquisas baseadas na ACF costumam mapear as coalizões, seus atores e crenças por meio de análise de documentos e entrevistas. VerMa et al (2020),Pierce et al (2017),Weible e Sabatier (2006) eWeible et al (2019).Continua…”

A brief trajectory of the constituent elements of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF)

“…However, because the discussion proposed here is not intended to be abstract in nature, it is important to highlight literature that aligns with the model Kukkonen et al (2018). studied the influence of the international regime on environmental policies;Moyson (2018) sought to understand the effects of interests on policy-oriented learning;Brown and Stuart (1993) analyze civil aviation policy in the US using the ACF;Araújo (2013) studied environmental policy coalitions in Brazilian legislature;Capelari, Araújo, and Calmon (2015) andMa, Lemos, and Vieira (2020) have conducted a survey of national research using the ACF;Capella (2006) andCapella and Brasil (2015) systematized the main variables of the model;Heikkila and Carney (2017) compared the ACF and six other theoretical-conceptual conceptions used in public policy analysis, among many others.…”
