Research On Building Integrated Analytical Framework For Policy Change

Things are generally linking between the other, and these links promote the development of things. The relation between things means that the various elements of things impact, constraint and interact each other mutually; in the process of development, these links will show a combination of a variety of relationship, which is the so-called 'framework'; framework is not imposed by man-made, it can objectively reflect the things themselves. The observation and description of fact always begin with the analysis of framework or paradigm, this is to say, the analysis framework of policy changes is an important component of policy science. This study will follow the ideas of integration of theories and method improving, synthesize existing theoretical framework and policy experience, select poweful factor which impact the policy changes, build integrated analytical framework in accordance with the logic of the policy system, describe and study the process of policy changes comprehensively from a perspective of influencing factors, and use a case to test the application of this framework and the variables which are selected. This article is divided into five parts:The first part is to define the concept of policy change, and analyse the existing frameworks focusing on the shortage of them.The second part is to build integrated analytical framework of policy change from the persepective of integration of theories and method improving, emphasizing on the selection and combination of variables which impact the policy changes.The third part is to explain and prove the various influencing factor in the framework, discuss the adequacy and necessity of the endogenous and exogenous factors for policy change. It contains the thinking of the reason why the policy will change and why not, also how it changes.The fourth part is to use the analytical framework in this article to observe the changing process in the case of Xiamen PX, and to organize the story and actual events, in order to verify the framework and the effect of variables. The fifth part is the conclusion from the above-mentioned theoretical exploration and the case analysis, come up with some inspiration and research propositions which need to be verified.After such a discussion, it would be helpful for us to know how policy changes achieve or to be hindered. Simultaneously, it will also stimulate us to discuss the theme of policy change further and to make the analytical framwork more perfect.
