本文在修正理性制度主义对欧盟政策解释的基础上，运用多流视角和多个政策领域的实例，探讨了政策选择的两个要素：政策窗口和耦合动态。我认为，政策产出既不是完全理性的，也不仅仅是制度设计的功能，而是在很大程度上依赖于问题，解决方案和政治之间的复杂的相互作用，在稍纵即逝的机会之窗。政策窗口的框架内作出选择的背景下，理性的决策构成了限制，而耦合的概念强调欧盟决策中的企业家政治和战略的影响。分析阐明了理性在解释政策选择方面的局限性，政治权力在缺乏制度层次结构的情况下的作用，以及思想，制度和企业家在欧盟政策过程中的影响。
ABSTRACT Amending rational institutionalist accounts of EU policy, I use the multiple streams perspective and examples from several policy sectors to explore the impact of two elements of policy choice: policy windows and the dynamics of coupling. I argue that policy outputs are neither exclusively rational nor solely a function of institutional design; rather they depend heavily on a complex interaction between problems, solutions, and politics during fleeting open windows of opportunity. Policy windows pose limitations to rational policy-making by framing the context within which choice is made, while the notion of coupling stresses the impact of entrepreneurial politics and strategies in EU policy-making. The analysis illuminates the limitations of rationality in explaining policy choice, the role of political power in the absence of institutional hierarchies, and the impact of ideas, institutions, and entrepreneurs in the EU policy process.
