Evaluate the validity of the Advocacy Coalition Framework as a causal theory of policy change against empirical findings from diverse policy domains.
Reviewed the theoretical structure, underlying assumptions, and specific hypotheses of the Advocacy Coalition Framework.
Synthesized findings from six empirical case studies examining Canadian education along with American transportation, telecommunications, water, environmental, and energy policy.
Empirical evidence across the six case studies broadly substantiates the framework's core assumptions regarding coalition stability and belief systems.
Case study outcomes highlight specific theoretical discrepancies that require targeted revisions to refine the framework's predictive accuracy.
