  • Embedding Climate Action: Policy Integration and Semantic Coherence in Ireland's SDGs Policy Mix

    Open AccessPaul M Wagner, Florence Metz et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2026

    Achieving the EU's 2050 target of climate neutrality requires embedding climate action (SDG13) within national sustainable development strategies. While inter‐governmental coordination and policy linkages are central to policy integration and coherence, existing studies rarely examine them in tandem. In a case study of Ireland, a historical climate laggard, this paper applies a combined network and computational text analysis approach to assess h…

  • Beyond Formal Power: How Central Roles in Political Networks are Related to Media Visibility

    Open AccessJuho Vesa, Arttu Malkamäki et al.ARTICLECommunication Research2025

    A recurring finding in communication studies is that political actors with formal-institutional power are highly visible in the media. The relationship between informal power and media visibility remains less understood. This study examines whether central roles in networks of political collaboration—as indicators of informal power—are associated with increased visibility in mainstream news media. We hypothesize that organizations with central ro…

  • Explaining collaboration in consensual and conflictual governance networks

    Open AccessAntti Gronow, Paul M Wagner et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration2019Cited by: 23References: 29

    The conditions under which policy beliefs and influential actors shape collaborative behaviour in governance networks are not well understood. This article applies exponential random graph models to network data from Finland and Sweden to investigate how beliefs, reputational power and the role of public authorities structure collaboration ties in the two countries’ climate change governance networks. Results show that only in Finland's conflictu…

  • Who got their way? Advocacy coalitions and the Irish climate change law

    Paul M Wagner, Paul Wagner et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Politics2018Cited by: 13References: 24

    Which organisations saw their positions on two contentious issues reflected in the Irish climate law of 2015, and what role did advocacy coalitions play in the policy process? These questions are answered drawing theoretically from the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and by conducting a network analysis of survey data collected from the organisations involved in the national climate policy process. The study finds that several institutionally …

  • Trends, frames and discourse networks: Analysing the coverage of climate change in Irish newspapers

    Open AccessPaul M Wagner, Paul Wagner et al.ARTICLEIrish Journal of Sociology2017

    This paper investigates how anthropogenic climate change is presented to the Irish public by three of Ireland’s most important national newspapers. We argue that Irish newspapers do not report climate change in an objective and unbiased way and illustrate how through the acts of agenda setting, news framing and in how they construct public discourse they present the issue in a narrow ideological form. Evidence is provided to support the argument …

  • Conflicting Climate Change Frames in a Global Field of Media Discourse

    Open AccessJeffrey Broadbent, J Sonnett et al.ARTICLESocius Sociological Research for…2016Cited by: 6References: 42

    Reducing global emissions will require a global cosmopolitan culture built from detailed attention to conflicting national climate change frames (interpretations) in media discourse. The authors analyze the global field of media climate change discourse using 17 diverse cases and 131 frames. They find four main conflicting dimensions of difference: validity of climate science, scale of ecological risk, scale of climate politics, and support for m…
