The legislative process can be seen as the business of turning coalition intentions into bills, which become law in the majority of cases. Increasing sensitivity to issues attended to by the media and raised in parliamentary questions has influenced this policymaking machinery and led to sometimes drastic agenda changes during the term in office. This is visible in the annual speeches from the throne, in the way party think tanks address policy topics, and in the attention to problems given by advisory bodies of the government. An analysis of safety issues shows that attention cascades over different topics related to safety and impact on longer-term policy plans.","PeriodicalId":276669,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Policy Agendas","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126041858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What are CAP scholars actually doing with their data? Therefore, the study draws on a meta-analysis of the papers that have been presented at CAP conferences 2006–17. We analyze not only the type of agendas that have been examined, but also whether these analyses tried to grasp effects from one agenda on another, whether the data were comparative (more than one country), whether all issues and thus a general pattern was examined or rather a single (or a few) issues, which countries have been mostly looked at, and all that in a longitudinal perspective. Our meta-analysis suggests that CAP scholars are mostly interested in mainstream political science questions focusing on representation. They use agenda data to answer questions about power and about how politics reacts to societal changes and demands. A notable weakness is the small number of comparative studies; and, so far, inter-country comparison does not seem to be on the rise yet.","PeriodicalId":276669,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Policy Agendas","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124895835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome this neglect in existing literature, we examine individual-level responses to the most important problem question in two countries—the United States and Israel—focusing specifically on economic and foreign policy priorities.

Policy Agendas Project was founded in?2014?to assess issue attention in the legislature and news media of Florida. Stemming from a multi-disciplinary approach, this project explores individual state legislators’ priorities in the policymaking process and how sub-national actors deviate from longstanding theories of national legislatures. A recent network analysis highlights the role of non-partisan networks in legislators’ agenda-setting. The relatively fixed nature of legislators and their districts promote stability in the legislative agenda. And the interdependence of legislators’ decisions helps explain the infrequent, but rapid shifts in the agenda; occasionally the decisions of a few legislators will reverberate throughout the network, creating a cascade of attention to new topics. Our work helps explain when those transformative shifts are likely to occur. The project is managed exclusively at Florida State University.","PeriodicalId":276669,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Policy Agendas","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133069986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 1948 to 1994 the Christian Democratic Party was uninterruptedly in office, often in coalition, while the Communist Party remained the major opposition party. After the collapse of these parties, a new system based on the alternation between a centre-right and a centre-left coalition emerged. To date the Italian Policy Agendas Project has released six datasets covering party manifestos, parliamentary questions, investiture speeches, laws, decrees, and budgetary data. Through their analysis, it is possible to assess the elements of stability and change that characterized Italian politics since the mid-eighties as well as some recent evolutions such as the mediatization and personalization of politics, the crisis of mainstream parties, and the advent of anti-establishment and populist parties as key actors of the system.","PeriodicalId":276669,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Policy Agendas","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128617190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
