  • What do we know about the flow of solutions?
  • Unpacking the concept of 'value acceptability'
  • Hypothesis 1: The higher the side payments, the broader the political coalition is likely to be
  • Hypothesis 2: The more institutionalized the policy network, the less likely it is for externally advocated solutions to attract more support
  • Hypothesis 3: Short time horizons decrease the likelihood of political conflict, facilitating the process of building coalitions
  • Hypothesis 4: Solutions that substantially deviate from the status quo are more likely to appeal to policy actors if they are framed in terms of losses
  • Conclusion
