Advocacy Coalition Politics and Strategies on Hydraulic Fracturing in Sweden

• This chapter depicts the politics of hydraulic fracturing in Sweden through the lens of the advocacy coalition framework (ACF). The objective is to describe how the hydraulic fracturing issue in Sweden escalated from being a non-issue in 2011 into a controversial public issue involving hundreds of actors three years later. We structure the analysis using concepts and assumptions derived from the ACF regarding advocacy coalition behavior in emergent policy subsystems. The chapter is organized around the questions relating to policy and coalition status as well as the propensity for change. By answering these questions, we seek to shed light on the dynamics of policy subsystem development. As our analysis will show, the case of hydraulic fracturing in Sweden is an example of an emergent policy subsystem.
