abstract   bibtex   
Societal change and development is commonly driven by initiatives of the affected stakeholders. To formalize these changes new policies need to be adopted. However as the number of involved stakeholders increases, the number of issues and different positions on them increase as well. Therefore, it is more difficult to gain wider support for a proposed batch of solutions, and even to identify groups of stakeholders with similar preferences which could potentially agree on a slightly modified solution. In order to disentangle the intertwined positions of stakeholders for policy makers, and to increase the transparency of the law-making process for the civic society, we introduce the concept of Policy Network Maps. It comprises of a methodology for quantitative analysis of stakeholder positions on multi-dimensional policy issues, and the mapping out/visualizing of their interconnected preferences. Thus it helps to find new alliances with minimal changes to the batch of proposed solutions, and enables to identify which stakeholders’ positions were or were not considered in the final approved law or policy. We present the applicability of the proposed methodology to the policy making process of the EU 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework.
