“…Will County's food system illustrates the importance of the partnership between civic capital and local authority to advance a community-based food system and offers another opportunity to study food's convening power as a policy topic (Clark, 2018;Sambell et al, 2019). The results underscored the work stakeholders, who represent different power dynamics, need to accomplish by cultivating relationships to achieve long-lasting and fruitful collaborations and partnerships.…”

The interest in and enthusiasm for shifting food systems to community-based and local trajectories have increased exponentially over the past decade. Part of the appeal of community-based, local food systems is their potential to secure access to healthy food for local communities, expand sustainable farming practices, promote local food economies, and advance environmental and food justice. Interactions and collaborations within the spectrum of the food system’s stakeholders—from farmers to local officials and organizations to local businesses and residents—are the cornerstone for effective food systems tailored to their community’s needs. An increasing number of food system studies have applied stakeholder assessment approaches to map out complex situations among multiple stakeholder groups with different values and viewpoints regarding food system change. However, despite being an essential and influential political unit to target, counties have received very little attention in food system studies, as researchers and practitioners often focus on the federal and state levels of intervention to design food policies. This study examined the food system in Will County, Illinois, by applying the advocacy coalition framework and using a qualitative, semi-structured survey to engage a diverse set of stakeholders. The answers to the survey questions offered insights into three overlapping and divergent Will County stakeholder viewpoints (Pragmatic, Environmental and Food Justice Advocate, and Visionary), with the intent of informing and enacting food system transformation at the county level. The discussion within this paper focuses on coalition-building and collaboration between formal and informal groups to empower local communities to develop a distinctive food system identity that promotes community support, collaborative networks, and food justice at the county level.

“…First, as initiators of processes, state actors have the possibility to introduce citizens to the topic, motivate and justify food-related transformation with an orientation towards community good and create legitimacy of the process. State-driven processes seem to have the potential to address a broader variety of citizens and economic actors than processes initiated by citizens only, as in the case of some food policy council initiatives (e.g., Clark, 2018). However, in their study of food policy in Ede, van de Griend, Duncan, and Wiskerke (2019) stress that the activation of different groups of citizens "remains one of the main challenges."…”

Food democracy is a concept with growing influence in food policy research. It involves citizens regaining democratic control of the food system and enabling its sustainable transformation. In focusing mainly on civil society initiatives, food democracy research has so far neglected the potential of state-driven food-related participation processes. We base our study on qualitative interviews with local stakeholders in two smaller cities in southern Germany where the city administration and city council initiated participatory processes. The study aims to understand how local actors are framing state-driven participation processes concerning sustainable local food system transformation along key dimensions of food democracy. We identify eight categories that conceptually constitute food democracy: mutual knowledge exchange; legitimacy and credibility of knowledge claims; transparent processes for deliberating ideas; shared language for sharing ideas; expectations of and experience with efficacy; role model function of municipalities; raising awareness; and motivation and justification of the normative orientation. Furthermore, the empirical analysis shows that state actors can have important roles in food-related participation processes as potential initiators, shapers and implementers depending on how they interact with local food-related actors and how they design and coordinate food system transformation processes. This suggests that food democracy research should not necessarily conceptualize state actors, local entrepreneurs and citizens as opponents, but rather, should reconsider how these various actors can drive food democracy and citizenship in a supportive and coordinated way.

“…Atau penelitian-penelitian lain yang juga berfokus pada RPJMD dengan kerangka berbeda seperti kerangka hukum maupun good governance (Purnama, 2013;Padang & Kusmanto, 2015). Perbedaan lainnya terdapat pada penggunaan sudut pandang ini di mana ACF biasanya digunakan untuk melihat proses kebijakan dalam rentang waktu setidaknya satu dekade (Ainuson, 2009;Babon, 2016;Clark, 2018;Howlett, 2016). Dalam penelitian ini, proses kebijakan yang dilihat terbatas pada perencanaan pembangunan DIY semenjak tahun 2012-2017.…”

An exploration of policy changes and learning and interest negotiation in formulating policy are useful for mapping the process of compromising between the authorities and citizens. The study aims to explore the relations of external actors and local governments as a reflection of the state in the formulation of 2017-2022 DIY development planning policies to ensure no policies that favor the interests of certain groups. This research was conducted in qualitative research methods. This research was framed by a case study method. The research was conducted in agencies/ companies/ academics/ donor institutions/ parliament and the community involved and affected in the process of formulating DIY development planning policies. Research showed that there were some disadvantages of ACF model. The first disadvantage related to the inability of the ACF to explain the position of one of the "plural-faced" parties. The next disadvantage was the fact that ACF could not explain in detail the exact reason behind the formation of a coalition. The last disadvantage was that the ACF could not explain the dispersal of movements in a coalition. Keywords: RPJMD DIY 2017-2022, Advocacy Coalition Framework, Policy Coalition Abstrak Penggalian policy change and learning serta negosiasi kepentingan dalam perumusan kebijakan berguna untuk memetakan proses kompromi penguasa dan warga. Studi untuk menggali dan mendalami relasi aktor eksternal dan pemerintah daerah sebagai cerminan negara dalam perumusan kebijakan perencanaan pembangunan DIY 2017-2022 menjadi penting untuk memastikan tidak adanya kebijakan yang berpihak pada kepentingan kalangan tertentu. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode penelitian kualitatif. Penelitian ini dibingkai dengan metode studi kasus. Penelitian dilakukan di instansi/perusahaan/kalangan akademisi/lembaga donor/parlemen serta kalangan masyarakat yang terlibat dan terdampak dalam proses perumusan kebijakan perencanaan pembangunan DIY. Penelitian menunjukan bahwa dalam model ACF terdapat beberapa kekurangan. Kekurangan pertama berkaitan dengan ketidakmampuan ACF untuk menjelaskan posisi salah satu pihak yang “berwajah majemuk”. Kekurangan berikutnya adalah ACF tidak dapat menjelaskan dengan detail alasan terbentuknya sebuah koalisi secara pasti. Kekurangan terakhir yaitu ACF tidak dapat menjelaskan terpencarnya gerakan dalam suatu koalisi. Kata Kunci : RPJMD DIY 2017-2022, Advocacy Coalition Framework, Koalisi Kebijakan
