Abstract
The Narrative policy framework (NPF) offers a storytelling perspective to agenda setting research that may help illuminate narrative-related concepts in policy attention research. Agenda setting scholars have explored the roles of attention, power, policy monopolies and communities, venue change, policy entrepreneurs, and institutional dynamics. This chapter offers ten propositions for how NPF ideas and findings can contribute to the agenda setting literature by exploring these and other concepts.
