Abstract

This chapter presents the various phases and questions concerning policy agenda setting. It discusses the process whereby a social problem is identified and then ‘thematicised’ as a public problem as well as the different characteristics of agenda setting. It notes that the political definition of the public problem constitutes, in effect, the first product that the analyst must study when discussing the cycle of public intervention in the context of an empirical study. It examines the general definition and operationalization of the concept of ‘public problem’. It determines the agenda-setting processes on the basis of the strategies of the actors involved, their resources, and the institutional rules that frame this first stage.
