本文以作物多样化为例，展示了适应政策过程的政治性。不同行为者之间相互竞争的说法说明了在实践中切实实现作物多样化的复杂性。政策进程所处的背景非常重要，因为如果不考虑适用这些政策的体制、政治和文化背景，就不能抽象地从其理论或技术属性来判断适应政策成功的机会。这就提请注意，政策进程不是线性序列，而是一个政治进程，其基础是各种利益攸关方之间错综复杂的互动和影响，这些利益攸关方受到相互竞争的利益和运作环境的驱动和制约。
This article demonstrates the politics of the policy processes of adaptation using the case of crop diversification. Competing narratives among different actors illustrate the complexity of practically translating crop diversification in practice. The context in which policy processes take place matter a great deal since adaptation policies' chance of success cannot be judged abstractly in their theoretical or technical attributes without considering the institutional, political and cultural context in which they are applied. This draws attention to the fact that policy processes are less of a linear sequence but more of a political process, underpinned by a complex mesh of interactions and ramifications between a wide range of stakeholders who are driven and constrained by the competing interests and contexts in which they operate.
