TLDR
The narrative policy framework (NPF) as mentioned in this paper identifies operational measures of policy beliefs through narrative elements such as characters and other symbolic, metaphorical, or contextual means by which collective understandings of the policy are generated.Abstract:
This chapter aims to detail the narrative policy framework (NPF) in an effort to provide a means by which policy researchers in a variety of contexts can advance scientific discoveries surrounding our central research question. Narrative strategies are used in an attempt to influence the policy process. The NPF identifies operational measures of policy beliefs through narrative elements such as characters and other symbolic, metaphorical, or contextual means by which collective understandings of the policy are generated. The NPF assumes that policy narratives operate simultaneously at three levels of analysis such as Microlevel NPF, Mesolevel NPF and Macrolevel NPF. The chapter addresses four new directions in NPF research, which include comparative public policy approaches, use of evidence, validation of digital media as a source of narrative data, and a new proposition regarding policy narrative learning in the context of policy change.read more
