Abstract

The article proposes one of the first quantitative operationalizations of the Multiple Streams Framework’s (MSF) concept of policy community integration, which determines the gestation process of policy ideas in the policy stream. It argues that operationalization by the Gini coefficient of nodal degree and by Freeman’s segregation score enables us to indicate better the type of a policy community (less integrated, or more integrated), and thus, to assume the trajectory of the gestation process. The findings suggest that Policy Network Analysis offers a more progressive operationalization of the integration concept and helps to compare policy communities.

提炼多源框架整合理念：比较视角下德日可再生能源政策与生态现代化

摘要

本文提出了多流框架 (MSF) 政策社区整合概念的首批量化操作之一，它决定了政策流中政策思想的孕育过程。它认为，节点度的基尼系数和弗里曼的隔离分数的可操作性使我们能够更好地表明政策共同体的类型（整合程度较低或整合程度较高），从而假设孕育过程的轨迹。调查结果表明，政策网络分析为整合概念提供了更渐进的操作，并有助于比较政策社区。
