OPPOSITION PARTIES AS POLICY ENTREPRENEURS

Ante Pavić

Abstract

The subject of this theoretical-empirical work are opposition parties in the role of pol-
icy entrepreneurs. Presented in the first part is the theoretical framework for creating
public policies. The continuation is based on the actors themselves in public policy
processes and their influence on the creation of the agenda. The research part of the
paper is based on the content analysis method. The distinction between the two ap-
proaches of the opposition parties are the main determinants of the work. Through
newspaper articles from different websites, examples of opposition activity by the
SDP as offensive and HNS as yielding opposition were analyzed. The goal is to show
the limitations and possibilities of their influence on formal decision-making.

Keywords

creation of public policies, policy cycle, agenda setting processes, policy entrepreneur, opposition actors, offensive action, yielding act
