Sammendrag	The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) is a theory of the policy process, introduced by Michael D. Jones and Mark K. McBeth in 2010, that treats policy narratives as a measurable, central force in policymaking. Against the long-held view that narratives are purely subjective and beyond empirical study, the NPF holds that policy stories have an identifiable structure — setting, characters, plot and a moral or policy solution — and content shaped by belief systems, and that this structure can be coded and tested systematically. It studies how such narratives shape opinion and policy outcomes across the individual, group and cultural-institutional levels.	The Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) is a theory of the policy process developed by Paul Sabatier and Hank Jenkins-Smith from the late 1980s and consolidated in their 1993 volume Policy Change and Learning. It explains policy stability and change over long periods by analysing competing coalitions of actors within a policy subsystem who are bound together by shared beliefs. Policy change is understood as a function of the interaction among these belief-based coalitions, the policy-oriented learning that occurs over time, and external events and shocks that can shift the balance of power among them.
