“…As argued by Byskov-Lindberg and Markard [70], the identification of core beliefs is a challenging task in studies of EU policy. This is particularly true for core beliefs of EU MSs, since countries do not hold core beliefs that hardly change over time.…”

“…In addition, MS positions within negotiations might not be clear until the end of the negotiations when decisions are voted on in the Council. In all, Byskov-Lindberg and Markard [70] argue that the 'treatment of MSs in the ACF and the operationalization of their policy core beliefs represents a conceptual challenge of the ACF on international/supranational levels, which has not yet been adequately addressed in the literature'. The core beliefs presented in Table 1 represent core beliefs presented in the period from 2021 to 2022.…”

This paper applied the advocacy coalition framework to explore and explain the political processes creating policies to enhance energy efficiency of European Union (EU) industry. The paper used legislation on energy audits and energy management systems as a proxy for EU policy on energy efficiency in industry. Based on qualitative text analysis of EU policy documents, including a proposal to recast the energy efficiency directive, amendments to the proposal suggested by Member States, the Council and the European Parliament, and reports from negotiations, the paper identified four advocacy coalitions with different core beliefs, spanning from those that want few companies to implement energy audits or energy management systems, and that recommendations from audits should not be mandatory to implement, to those that advocate that many companies implement energy audits and management systems and that it should be mandatory to implement measures recommended in audits. It was further found that policy change followed an external shock, deliberative negotiations, and policy-oriented learning. The identification of core beliefs and advocacy coalitions will help policymakers and other stakeholders become more aware of their own and others’ values on energy efficiency and how these could be changed. As important was the differentiation of deep core beliefs, policy core beliefs and secondary beliefs. Which beliefs can be easily changed, which cannot?

“…Some studies integrate the ACF into sustainability transitions concepts. For instance, Markard et al [24], Byskov Lindberg and Kammermann [63] combine the ACF with the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and analyze energy policy transition in Europe. However, to our knowledge, there are no studies that incorporate the ACF into the TIS framework.…”

Many hydrocarbon-rich countries have recognized the global shift towards renewable energy sources, and Russia is not an exception. Drawing on two strands of literature—technological innovation systems and the advocacy coalition framework—we investigate the roles of actors and coalitions in shaping the Russian renewable energy policy and explore why particular renewable energy sources have progressed more than others, and what the main reasons are for their sudden development. The results show that the more successful renewable energy industries are those that were promoted by influential actors from traditional energy industries. Moreover, these actors also promoted the specific design of support schemes for renewable energy policy in Russia. We discuss the importance of policy process theories for understanding energy transition studies and provide specific policy recommendations for policy creation in the renewables industry.

Does (dis)agreement reflect beliefs? An analysis of advocacy coalitions in Swiss pesticide policy

Agricultural pesticide use is a wicked sustainability challenge: Trade‐offs exist between health, environmental, agro‐economic, and socio‐political objectives. Various actors involved have diverse beliefs regarding these trade‐offs and policies to address the challenge. But to what extent does the agreement or disagreement between actors reflect belief similarities or differences, and thus, the formation of advocacy coalitions? To answer this question, the study draws on the advocacy coalition framework and investigates data from 54 key actors in the case of Swiss pesticide policy. The study explores the relationship between the actors' (dis)agreement relations and their beliefs using Random Forests. Coalitions are identified through block modeling and beliefs based on multi‐attribute value theory. The study shows that the two relations are a good proxy for identifying coalitions with conflict lines concerning beliefs and presents an approach to exploring ideological reasons behind (dis)agreement relations that supports identifying conflicting beliefs relevant to future policy solutions.
