Narrative Efficacy
The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) addresses the decisions that actors make when constructing policy narratives and the influence of those narratives on policy dynamics. This research explores an underexamined aspect of the role of narratives within the policy process: the impact on participants of the act of narration itself. While earlier work on narratives has explored the role of policy stories in individual sensemaking and identity formati…
Constructing visual policy narratives in new media
Increasingly, advocacy organizations are routing their communications through social media platforms. One notable difference from traditional communication outlets is the easy inclusion of visual elements within social media messaging. One such example of the turn toward the visual in online communication is the fight over the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), during which environmental groups livestreamed protests and posted images of demonstrators…
Is seeing believing? Comparing the influence of textual and visual policy narratives on public opinion
Scholars have used the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) to explain public opinion on a variety of policy issues and across venues. Recent work in the NPF has expanded the application of the framework beyond textual formats to accommodate policy narratives that are visual in nature. This article asks whether individuals respond differently to visual versus text‐based narratives. The research argues that visuals are more easily understood, dramatic…
From Three Mile Island to Fukushima
Setting the Record Straight
Policy scholars recognize that most policy arenas are characterized by competition among interests advancing different problem frames with conflicting problem definitions and/or solutions. At the same time, there is little research that empirically analyzes the dynamics of such framing contests. Using a case study of energy policy advocacy by the Sierra Club and Environmental Defense Fund across three decades, I examine the tactics that interest …
Paving the way or crowding out? The impact of the rise of climate change on environmental issue agendas
Framing Trade‐offs
This article outlines recent debates over nuclear energy and wind farms in an age of growing concern about climate change. Proponents of these technologies have used “trade‐off” frames to promote these technologies in the face of current and potential opposition to them. This article examines the nature and limits of the trade‐off frames being used and their probability of success. We argue that using the language of trade‐offs is generally a sub…
Surfing for Problems
John Kingdon sets out a multiple streams approach to policymaking, whereby problems, solutions, and politics develop independently of one another. Kingdon's work suggests that advocates with pet policies may continually search the problem stream, looking for prominent issues to attach to their preferred solutions. I call this process “problem surfing.” This paper provides an empirical test of problem surfing through the use of a case study of env…
Congressional Intrusion to Specify State Voting Dates for National Offices
Through the nation's first century, states used their concurrent constitutional right to schedule presidential and House elections at widely varying times. Senators were also elected within the states at diverse times. This study examines the gradual establishment of uniform election dates and offers an explanation of why Congress felt it appropriate to override state autonomy to eventually establish uniformity of state practices.
