“…That is to say, policy entrepreneurs are also very likely to come from inside the state apparatus or to be close to the decision-making centre. Depending on the specific autocracy, the military can also act as policy entrepreneur, as Obinger and Kovacevic ( 2016 ) show for education and social policy in the Habsburg empire. On the other hand, there is evidence from case studies on Belarus, Russia, and China that nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) can also act as policy entrepreneurs under certain conditions (Babayan et al.…”

The Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) builds on the concepts of timing and ambiguity and their effects on the policy process. Since its introduction to agenda-setting in the U.S. presidential system, scholars have transferred the MSF’s core ideas to multiple issue areas, policy stages, and political systems. However, what has been lacking so far is a thorough discussion of the MSF’s travelling capacity to nondemocratic forms of government. Building on a brief summary of the MSF’s main ideas, this article discusses the challenges that policy-making in autocracies poses for MSF applications and ways to adapt it to the peculiarities that are typical for these regimes. The article focuses on the agenda-setting stage in which formal institutions are less important and introduces falsifiable hypotheses explaining agenda change. Due to tremendous differences regarding the organization of the decision-making process in autocratic regimes, the article only sketches out how the MSF could be adapted to explain policy change in this institutional setting. The article concludes with a discussion of whether the MSF is stretched too far by applying it to nondemocratic systems. It turns out that in theoretical and conceptual terms, the MSF travels surprisingly well to these systems.
