政策创业理论试图解释行为者、机构、行动和互动如何影响决策者和政策结果;然而，公民在这一过程中的作用在很大程度上仍然没有得到阐明。采用政策创业的概念，作为一个（分布式）模式的机构，而不是个人的行动，我们分析了地方政府气候紧急声明（CEDs）的发展（其中许多明显涉及公民宣传）。这一分析扩大了公民在政策变革中的作用，并提供了公民企业家如何与更传统形式的政策精英（在这种情况下是地方民选代表）合作互动的证据。自2018年以来，英国数百个地方政府发布了CED，表达了当地气候雄心。虽然CEDs引起了学者的关注，但推动这些政策通过的潜在动力和政治，包括公民所扮演的角色，在文献中仍未被探索。对议员、理事会官员和公民的访谈表明，公民开展了一系列与政策创业有关的活动，包括提出问题、确定解决方案、建立网络和建立联盟，以及寻求关注和机会。我们发现，他们与其他公民共同开展这些活动，并与民选代表合作;虽然精确的联盟内部动态各不相同，但公民经常利用机会来展示公众对其事业支持的力度和广度。
Policy entrepreneurship theory seeks to explain how actors, institutions, actions and interactions influence policy makers and policy outcomes; however, the role of citizens in this process remains largely unarticulated. Adopting a conception of policy entrepreneurship as a (distributed) pattern of agency rather than the actions of an individual, we analyse the development of local government climate emergency declarations (CEDs) (many of which visibly involved citizen advocacy). This analysis expands on the role of citizens in policy change and provides evidence of how citizen entrepreneurs interact collaboratively with more traditional forms of policy elites, in this case local elected representatives. Since 2018 hundreds of local governments in the United Kingdom (UK) have issued CEDs in a surge of expressions of local climate ambition. Whilst CEDs have attracted attention from scholars, the underlying dynamics and politics which drove the adoption of these policies, including the role played by citizens, remain unexplored in the literature. Interviews with councillors, council officers, and citizens reveal that citizens carry out a range of activities related to policy entrepreneurship, including problem framing, identifying solutions, networking and building coalitions, and seeking attention and opportunities. We find that they carry out these activities collectively with other citizens and collaboratively with elected representatives; whilst precise coalition‐internal dynamics vary, citizens frequently exploit opportunities to demonstrate the strength and breadth of public support for their cause.
