Abstract

The essence of policy conflicts remains largely underdeveloped, both theoretically and empirically. We explore policy conflict and explain its cognitive and behavioral characteristics using data from a survey administered to policy actors involved in oil and gas politics in Colorado, USA. The analysis begins with a description of the cognitive and behavioral characteristics of policy actors and then combines them into a single index to depict varying intensities of conflict. Cognitive characteristics are comprised of three dimensions: disagreement on public policy, perceived threats from opponents, and an unwillingness to compromise. Behavioral characteristics include engagement by policy actors in a range of activities, from mobilizing opponents to providing information to the media. Ordered Logit models are used to associate the attributes of policy actors with cognitive and behavioral characteristics and an index of conflict intensity that combines these two characteristics. The conclusion offers questions and recommendations for future research.

油气政治中政策冲突的认知与行为特征
政策冲突的本质在理论上和经验上仍未得到充分的研究。我们利用对美国科罗拉多州涉及石油和天然气政治的政策参与者的调查数据,探讨政策冲突,并解释其认知和行为特征。分析从描述政策参与者的认知和行为特征开始,然后将它们组合成一个单一的指数来描述冲突的不同强度。认知特征包括三个方面:对公共政策的分歧、对对手威胁的感知以及不愿妥协。行为特征包括政策参与者参与一系列活动,从动员反对者到向媒体提供信息。有序Logit模型用于将政策参与者的属性与认知和行为特征以及结合这两种特征的冲突强度指数联系起来。结论对今后的研究提出了问题和建议。
