摘要

Since its inception in 2010, the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) has rapidly gained prominence as a tool for examining the influence of narratives in public policy analysis. The framework's empirical focus is a key driver of its growth, providing both researchers and practitioners a robust approach to measuring, testing, and interpreting the effects of narratives on political discourse and public policy. This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of the NPF, delineating its fundamental theoretical underpinnings, narrative components, and its theoretical significance. It further explores the NPF's place within the wider scholarship of narrative analysis and contemplates the evolving role of narrative studies in public policy theory.
