“…As Hajer and Laws (2006, p. 256) comment, the concept of frames captures 'the dynamics of policy making' that makes sense to practitioners' themselves. Secondly, framing theory captures the strategic and purposive nature of policy actors' interventions in policy debates and provides a conceptual framework for its analysis (Loizides 2009, Desrosiers 2012. It enables us to analyze frames as 'weapons of advocacy' (Weiss 1989).…”

This article explores alcohol industry attempts to frame the debate about pricing and promotions policy in the United Kingdom. Framing theory, it is argued, offers us important insights into the dynamics of the policymaking process as a contest between competing conceptualizations of both problems and solutions. Drawing on a documentary analysis and a series of interviews with policymakers, public health advocates and alcohol industry actors, it argues that industry actors framed the policy debate in ways which were consistent with their underlying commercial interests. A clear challenge was posed to the industry by the shift towards whole-population interventions favored by the Scottish government. This led to a reassertion of the industry frame in which alcohol-related harm is limited to a small minority of the population and which advocates targeted interventions.

“…Frames build on pre-existing cultural stock drawn from the identity of a community, the basis of outbidding claims. Frames involve the construction of shared meanings of a situation, whether a problem exists and what solutions are possible (Desrosiers 2011;Gray 2004: 167). Parties use 'diagnostic frames' which identify the source of a problematic situation, such as inter-ethnic compromise, and attribute blame in an attempt to exploit the group's fears.…”

“…Prognostic frames contain the identification of appropriate opportunities and strategies for redressing the problem as well as an assessment of the efficacy of alternative strategies (Desrosiers 2011;Snow and Benford 1988). We argue that the presence of a prognostic frame in ethnic politics emphasising credible political and constitutional strategies is a necessary condition for successful outbidding.…”

“…Leaders recognize identity-based claims' greater affect and often foist these frames upon “merely” tangibly-salient disputes. However, these efforts have limited returns where such framings are not already deeply familiar to targeted audiences (Desrosiers 2012; Zellman 2015). Leaders therefore do not enjoy an unrestricted license to characterize oil fields as holy sites.…”

Interstate conflicts involving religion are commonly argued to be more severe and more protracted than other forms of conflict. Although various arguments have sought to explain religion's apparent contributions to global violence, few consider the foreign policy goals over which religious actors actually fight. This article does so by examining whether religiously-exclusive states tend to militarize interstate territorial disputes (MIDs) over issues of strategic material or identity salience. Insofar as religiously-exclusive states seek to “defend the faith” against internal and external challengers, identity-salient disputes should be a particularly attractive target for militarization. We however find the opposite. Although religiously-exclusive states do initiate territorial MIDs more frequently than their secular counterparts, they are significantly more likely to do so owing to disputed territories' strategic rather than symbolic value. These results challenge accepted wisdom regarding religion's influence on international conflict and suggest critical new avenues for research.
