How is Public Policy Narrative Effective from the Perspective of Government Attention?—A Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis Based on 30 Policy Cases in China
Policy narratives are an important tool for the production and implementation of public policies,and it is crucial to explore the study of public policy narratives with Chinese discourse.However,little attention has been paid to the effectiveness and formation path of policy narratives.In this paper,we construct a three-dimensional framework based on Limited Attention Theory and Narrative Policy Theory,from the perspective of government attention,and use Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis to analyze 30 policy cases of China from three dimensions,namely policy attention allocation,organizational attention allocation,and leadership attention allocation,in order to explore the core influencing factors of policy narrative effects and the complex causal relationships.This study fits the Narrative Policy Theory with the three dimensions of government attention,combines the practice of Chinese policy narratives,proposes six antecedent conditions and operationalizations of policy belief aggregation,setting clarity,solution acceptability,narrative strategy inclination,role preference,and narrative plot rationality,and refines three paths of policy narrative effectiveness,which are the policy belief supportive,the narrative plot empowering,and the belief-plot linkage type,responding to the practical concern of tell China policy stories well.
