尽管有大量关于政治化的文献，但对这一过程及其驱动力的了解仍然有限。具体来说，很少有实证分析来评估在全球和看似技术性的政策制定场所中聚焦事件对政治化的影响。在现有研究的基础上，我将政治化概念化为三个组成部分的组合：(1)问题突出性，(2)行动者扩张和(3)行动者多样性。我测试了将事件聚焦于我们这个时代最紧迫的全球政策问题之一的政治化的影响：互联网监管，特别是全球数据保护和互联网隐私规则。我对20年来的新闻媒体报道进行了系统分析，得出了一个包含2100篇新闻文章的原始数据集。控制不同的因素，我的研究结果表明，焦点事件确实有助于技术场所的政治化，特别是涉及辩论的行动者。
Despite a rich body of literature on politicisation, knowledge of this process and its driving forces remains limited. Specifically, little empirical analysis has been carried out to assess the impact of focusing events on politicisation within global and seemingly technical venues of policy‐making. Building on existing studies, I conceptualise politicisation as a combination of three components: (1) issue salience, (2) actor expansion and (3) actor diversity. I test the impact of focusing events on the politicisation of one of the most pressing global policy issues of our age: internet regulation, specifically regarding global data protection and internet privacy rules. I use a systematic analysis of news media coverage over a 20‐year period, resulting in an original dataset of 2,100 news articles. Controlling for different factors, my findings reveal that focusing events do contribute to politicisation in technical venues, in particular regarding the actors involved in debates.
