This concept focuses on policy networks composed of diverse actors who are brought together by the shared goal of promoting a specific instrument. In this study, we examine who is involved in policy instruments development, and the extent to which they drive change within the policy process. To do so, we focus on the case of two care coordination instruments, namely, the IPEP and PEPS, used in the French healthcare system. Drawing on qualitative methods, we identify the actors involved in the development of the two instruments. Our analysis reveals the formation of two instrument constituencies around the IPEP and PEPS. This finding suggests that the continuity of primary care policies is supported through these instruments, fostering shared approaches among the actors involved.</p>","PeriodicalId":52190,"journal":{"name":"European Policy Analysis","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/epa2.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147275036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But policymaking in EU differs from the US context, why the applicability of ACF in the EU context should be scrutinized. This paper discusses limitations of ACF for analyzing supranational EU policy processes. Policymaking in EU is mainly about collaboration and competition of organizations. Thus, the central concept of ACF—individual <i>beliefs</i>—is difficult to apply. Organizations have cultures, not beliefs. The formal path to policy change in EU is negotiations to reach consensus. These take place in different modes, affecting policy learning. If systems boundaries are adapted to EU governance, organizations are given more attention, and ACF theories are developed to better explain negotiations and policy learning, ACF can complement macro-level studies of European integration with meso-level perspectives to better explain policy change in EU.</p>","PeriodicalId":52190,"journal":{"name":"European Policy Analysis","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/epa2.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146256516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It introduces a strategic-relational heuristic to address two key gaps: the marginalization of grassroots agency in spatial analyses and the separation of strategy from structure. Drawing on the Strategic-Relational Approach (SRA), the paper examines EU peacebuilding as a form of metagovernance. Using Northern Ireland as a case study, it shows how voluntary and community groups not only respond to but also shape metagovernance as an opportunity structure. Key dimensions—geographic reach, thematic focus, governance mechanisms, and spatial elements like territory, place, scale, and networks—are central to this process. Yet, persistent shortcomings reveal tensions where policy and politics intertwine. The article concludes that metagoverning peacebuilding is a dynamic, context-specific process shaped by diverse actor strategies and overlapping territorial influences, requiring an understanding of both strategic tools and opportunity structure.</p>","PeriodicalId":52190,"journal":{"name":"European Policy Analysis","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/epa2.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146680514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper bridges these two previously isolated strands, exploring how macro-institutions influence policy processes. Specifically, we investigated how political institutions, such as decentralization and corporatism, relate to coalition opportunity structures (COSs), a key concept within the advocacy coalition framework (ACF); we also investigated the role of minority coalitions and subsystem collaboration. Empirically, we based our analysis on prototypes selected according to Aranda Lijphart's models of majoritarian and consensus democracies. Drawing on existing comparative ACF applications related to climate, water, and energy policy processes, we compared results from these studies to assess the impact of institutional settings on coalition dynamics.

This iterative model starts from the Commission's ideal stance and persists until no member state challenges a policy position, which then becomes the adopted outcome. The European Parliament contributes to shaping the trajectory from the Commission's proposal to the final result.
