叙事政策框架研究进展与展望

Research Progress and Prospect of Narrative Policy Framework

叙事政策框架于2010年由琼斯等人提出,是一个新生且处在发展中的政策过程理论.在综合借鉴已有政策过程理论科学方法和叙事研究独特视角的基础上,叙事政策框架在微观、中观和宏观等三个层面围绕叙事构成要素提出一系列研究假说,运用系统和科学的方法研究政策叙事在政策过程和政策变迁中的作用.梳理相关实证研究,可以发现,叙事政策框架微观层面和中观层面的理论发展较为充分,部分研究假说得到了检验,而宏观层面在理论发展和假说提出方面则相对滞后.未来研究可从理论薄弱环节以及尚未得到检验的假说入手进一步完善叙事政策框架.

The Narrative Policy Framework(NPF)proposed by Jones and others in 2010 is a newly emerging and continuously improved policy process theory.Based on the scientific methods of existing policy process theories and the unique perspective of narrative research,the NPF uses a systematic and scientific method to study the role of policy narratives in policy process and policy change.Specifically speaking,it proposes a series of hypotheses around the role of narrative components at the micro,meso and macro levels.After reviewing the specific application of the NPF,it’s found that the theoretical development is relatively mature and some of the hypotheses have been tested at the micro and meso levels.By contrast,the theoretical development and hypothesis development at the macro-level is relatively insufficient.Future research can further improve the NPF by starting from where the theories are weak and hypotheses have not yet been tested.
