Energy Policy in Europe

Un panel intitulé "Energy Policy in Europe : Understanding Agenda-Setting Dynamics" se tiendra dans le cadre de la première Conférence Internationale sur l’analyse des Politiques Publiques (Grenoble, 26-28 juin 2013).

Présentation :
In this workshop we seek to bring to together policy analysts working on agenda setting and researchers concentrating on recent developments in energy policy-making in European countries and at the level of the European Union. Which energy-related topics have received increased attention and why ? Which attempts to include an energy-related topic onto the policy makers’ agenda were unsuccessful ?
How can we explain both successful and unsuccessful attempts of agenda setting ? In what way are agenda-setting processes on different political or administrative levels interrelated ? How does agenda setting impact on subsequent decision-making processes ? These are the research questions guiding this panel that aims to provide both stimulating theoretical and empirical insights. A restricted empirical focus on energy policy seems promising for attaining the analytical objective of this panel, for this allows us to gain more detailed insights into the interaction between the key actors and how their behaviour is shaped by the relevant institutions, situational factors or strategic considerations. We primarily encourage the submission of empirically oriented papers that are informed by theoretical considerations concerning agenda setting. Proposals on any topic in the area of agenda setting in energy policy are welcome, but papers will be especially favoured in the following areas : studies addressing unsuccessful attempts of agenda setting concerning energy policy issues, analyses concentrating on the empirical assessment of framing and priming processes, and any type of comparative research.
