Agenda-Setting – Definitions
Social Agenda (general, systemic): issues that the public thinks deserve attention from government measures: polls, media
Formal Agenda (government): issues explicitly up for active and serious consideration by policy makers measures: announced proposals,
throne speech

Agenda-Setting - Process
Kingdon’s “streams” model: a confluence of Problem stream Politics stream Policy (solution)
stream Opens a “policy
window” Opportunity for
“policy entrepreneurs”

6-stepPatton and Sawieki – Basic Methods of Policy Analysis and Planning
1. Verify, define and detail the problem
2. Establish evaluation criteria 3. Identify alternative policies 4. Assess alternative policies 5. Display and distinguish among
alternatives 6. Implement, monitor, and evaluate
the policy
![Page 17: Agenda-setting; Policy Formulation I: the foundations of policy analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815b4d550346895dc9333b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Essential Steps
Define problem Criteria for evaluation Identify multiple alternatives Outcomes/consequences of
alternatives Compare/tradeoff Recommended decision

1. Problem definition
don’t confuse with solutions quantify if possible be skeptical about common causal
claims
![Page 20: Agenda-setting; Policy Formulation I: the foundations of policy analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815b4d550346895dc9333b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. Criteria for evaluation apply to outcomes, not alternatives build on problem definition common:
Effectiveness Efficiency (cost-effectiveness) equity political acceptability robustness and improvability
![Page 21: Agenda-setting; Policy Formulation I: the foundations of policy analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815b4d550346895dc9333b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Identify multiple alternatives start comprehensive, end up focused Alternative = option The status is an alternative
![Page 22: Agenda-setting; Policy Formulation I: the foundations of policy analysis](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815b4d550346895dc9333b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Project Outcomes/Consequences projection = model + evidence attach magnitude estimates breakeven estimates avoid excessive optimism
scenario-writing other person’s shoes

5. Compare/Tradeoff
Commensurability Confront the
tradeoffsAlternatives/criteria
Criterion 1 Criterion 2 Criterion 3
Alternative 1 3 2 1
Alternative 2 2 1 3
Alternative 3 2 1 3

Analysis vs. Advocacy
ANALYSIS
Neutral stance on Solutions, Problem framing
Careful, balanced use of evidence
ADVOCACY
Position based on group’s interest
Strategic framing More selective use of
evidence
Does effective analysis ignore other side’s argument, or engage it?The best argument explicitly addresses an opponents strongest claim and discredits it with evidence and reason
