註釋Policy debates between political actors can facilitate, strain, or change the direction of future policy-making. However, existing measurement approaches do not tap the full potential of discursive-institutionalist explanations of policy outcomes. Based on social network analysis of political discourse, this book develops a formal methodology for the dynamic analysis of political discourse using text data. As a showcase, the German politics of old-age security in the 1990s are analyzed in this book in detail. The literature offers several ideational explanations for the 2001 Riester reform, a major policy innovation that breaks with previous incrementalist descriptions of pension policy-making. This book is an attempt to overcome the methodological limitations of policy network analysis and operationalize the relational elements hidden in political debates"
