please ! I need more details on your theoretical, analytical and conceptual framework, how do you use political science and IR theories in general to analyse this topics?
thank you very much for your help.
Well, I think you may focus on regulatory policy. In my point of view you can use different analytical tool for every phase of public policy. In the agenda setting phase I like the concept of epistemic communities as defined by Peter M. Haas, in the phase of formulation I use concept of Political Networks/Community (Rod Rhodes, Grace Skogstad). In the phase of decision I usually make "inter-institutional analysis" analysing imput and output from institutions and possible changes during the process revealed by content analysis. Phase of implementation is well analyzed by behavioral analysis. You can use questioners or interviews for data collection or other impact assesment methods. I recommed you just for inspiration a chapter by Jeremy Richardson (1996) „Policy-making in the EU: Interests, Ideas and Garbage Cans of Primeval Soup“. In: Richardson, Jeremy (ed.): European Union: Power and Policy-Making. London: Routledge. It is related to EU, but very universal and applicable everywhere...

An analytical framework is made up of strands of theory which one then uses to organise and critically analyse the literature (1) and (2) to design and analyse empirical findings. An analytical framework acts as a theoretical lens through which one interprets existing theories and 'facts'. It is an understudied field in the social sciences as is theory formation and epistemology generally.
Yes, I am committed to an analytical framework. I am an analytic philosopher rather than a Continental philosopher.
