Window of opportunity Sample Clauses

Window of opportunity. The window of opportunity is described in the MSF as a critical short moment in time where an opportunity arises for policy entrepreneurs (see paragraph 2.2.4) to push their alternatives or gain attention for certain problems (Xxxxxxx, 1995). Every stream has a certain window where the problem, political or policy windows can open by a series of events. For instance, if there were an extreme flooding incident in New Orleans, the problem window would be pressured to open. Or a political window can open when there is a great turnover in government. These instances can be policy change moments. For instance, when the Democrats lost the election in 2016, there was a major overhaul in the legislative and executive branch. The Obama administration was adamant in regulating the fossil-fuel industry to stop Co2 emissions (Xxxxxxxxx, 2015). Combatting climate change was a top priority of the Obama administration and they proposed a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2013 which strived to regulate the fossil-fuel industries Co2 emissions, pursued alternative fuel resources, preserved forests and intensified research on climate change (Xxxxxxxxx, 2013). The CAP also looked at how to address climate change internationally and supported the conservation of common-pool resources (Xxxxxxxxx, 2013). With the election of Xxxxxx Xxxxx in 2016, a new climate strategy was adopted. The new administration cancelled the Climate Action Plan and appointed climate change denialists (i.e. Xxxxx Xxxxxx) as the head of the EPA (Holden, 2017). The cancellation of the Climate Action Plan meant that there were significant policy changes in the environmental policies which will be further discussed in the analysis. These examples are meant to showcase that with the turnover in the executive and legislative branch, significant policy changes took place in the US after 2016. Windows of opportunity are therefore considered to be somewhat predictable (during elections) or unpredictable in times of sudden crises (Knaggard, 2015: Kingdon, 1995). It is the policy entrepreneurs job to recognize a window of opportunity and present viable alternatives to policymakers in this short window (Knaggard, 2015: Xxxxxxx, 1995: Xxxxxxxxxx, 2015). Due to the significance of an election, this thesis will argue that the window of opportunity was the election of X. Xxxxx in 2016.
