16 Policy Theories Advocacy Coalition Framework (Sabatier) BEST FOR: Contentious issues, at least 2 groups involved with differing views on issue, driven by beliefs (e.g., Anti-Tobacco vs Pro-Tobacco, Anti-Tanning vs Pro- Tanning, Anti-Cyclists vs Pro-Cyclists) 00 MAIN CONCEPTS: Beliefs are the causal driver for political behaviour Small # of advocacy coalitions comprised of actors from a variety of institutions sharing a set of policy beliefs Evidence use occurs within context of coalitions and used to bolster their positions 16 Peel Public Health (2012).

17 Policy Theories Multiple Streams (Kingdon) BEST FOR: Ambiguous problems, competing for attention, solutions unclear (e.g., transportation planning, menu labelling) 00 THREE STREAMS: PROBLEM: how issue perceived/framed, attention receiving POLICY: feasibility, acceptability, alignment with prevailing interests POLITICS: public mood, influence of pressure-groups, administrative/ legislative change Policy opportunity window opens when streams align Policy entrepreneur(s) can play important role in accelerating change 17 Peel Public Health (2012).
