The Politics of Crisis Policymaking: Chernobyl and Swedish Nuclear Energy Policy

Abstract: Public policy scholars often accentuate the key role of crises in explaining policy change; however, much empirical work still remains to be done in order to explain crisis‐induced policy outcomes. This article explores the prediction of the Advocacy Coalition Framework that stable coalitions and impediments to learning reduce the likelihood for policy change after a crisis. Strategic action is emphasized as a supplementary variable focusing on the role of political motivations in post‐crisis policymaking. Swe… Show more

“…Although these theories focus on slightly different actors, time scales, and causal mechanisms (Nowlin 2011), all emphasize windows of opportunity for policy change, especially following acute "focusing events" such as oil and nuclear crises (Carlisle et al 2016;Grossman 2013;Nohrstedt & Weible 2010;Nohrstedt 2008;Smith 5 2002). Our paper builds on this literature by demonstrating how oil crises drove omnibus energy legislation, opening policy windows for wind, solar, biofuels, and EVs.…”

“…La idea básica del MCP es que el cambio de política requiere una transformación radical del sistema de creencias hegemónico a través del aprendizaje (Sabatier y Jenkins-Smith, 1993y 1999Sabatier y Weible, 2007;Nohrstedt, 2008). El MCP Sabatier y Jenkins-Smith (1993 y 1999) presenta el sistema de creencias en un modelo de tres niveles: el «núcleo profundo» que serían las opiniones y creencias normativas fundamentales; el «núcleo de políticas» o estrategias básicas necesarias para hacer realidad las creencias fundamentales; y los «aspectos secundarios» que se refieren a los elementos menos importantes de carácter instrumental para implementar la política.…”

“…Sin embargo, algunos investigadores han puesto en duda la distinción entre las crisis externas y los fallos internos sobre la base de la estrecha relación entre los acontecimientos externos e internos, la dificultad para distinguirlos y para determinar si un determinado fiasco fue el causante del cambio de política (Nohrstedt, 2008;Albright, 2011). Por otro lado, con respecto a las negociaciones que tienen lugar en el contexto de foros y redes de profesionales, Sabatier y Weible (2007) identificaron una serie de condiciones que deben tener lugar para que se produzca un impacto en la toma de decisiones políticas.…”

“…Scholars of public policy have shown great interest in explaining the influence of focusing events on policy -in particular, the reasons why one crisis results in policy change and others do not (e.g. Nohrstedt 2008;Walgrave and Varone 2008). However, the consequences of potential focusing events for attention, which forms a stage before policy change, are sometimes taken for granted.…”
