How do policy debates work? How can interest groups and legislators
influence political processes through the media? This book
introduces discourse network analysis as a methodological toolbox
for the study of policy debates. With this set of methods,
political discourse is cast as a temporal network of actors and
their statements in the media over time. In a case study, Philip
Leifeld applies discourse network analysis to the policy debate on
old-age security in Germany. Demonstrating that German pension
politics was characterized by an increasing polarization of
competing coalitions towards the end of the 1990s, Leifeld shows
how structural breaks in the discourse network can explain major
policy changes and a radical turn to privatization in 2001.
