Abstract

This article introduces a multidimensional concept of (de)politicization, comprising strategy, process and outcome, in order to set the stage for a theoretical model that connects (de)politicization to policy change. The politicization/depoliticization– policy change (PDPC) model facilitates hypothesizing the relationship between different types and degrees of (de)politicization and likely types and degrees of policy change. To demonstrate the merit of the PDPC model for comparative policy analysis, the article discusses dynamics of politicization, depoliticization and policy change in the agri-food domain as an instructive policy area. Finally, the article synthesizes the findings from the contributions to this special issue.

摘要

本文介绍了（去）政治化的多维概念，包括战略、过程和结果，以便为将（去）政治化与政策变化联系起来的理论模型奠定基础。政治化/去政治化 - 政策变化 (PDPC) 模型有助于假设不同类型和程度的（去）政治化与政策变化的可能类型和程度之间的关系。为了证明 PDPC 模型用于比较政策分析的优点，本文将农业食品领域的政治化、非政治化和政策变化的动态作为一个有指导意义的政策领域进行了讨论。最后，本文综合了对本期特刊的贡献的调查结果。
