倡导联盟框架（Advocation Coalition Framework，ACF）是理解政策过程的统一框架，在各国和各地区都得到了应用，但日本的贡献却很少，尽管其应用条件似乎很好。探讨ACF在日本应用的障碍，对于将ACF发展为跨社会政治背景的政策过程比较研究框架是有价值的。因此，本研究的目的是系统地回顾以前的日本ACF的研究。我们的审查发现，日本ACF研究的数量较少，政策领域的覆盖范围较小，方法的多样性和透明度低于国际趋势。虽然大多数日本ACF研究支持ACF的基本假设，但我们发现需要改进ACF研究的一些假设和研究方法。我们还讨论了日本ACF研究不活跃的背景因素，并提出了解决方案。
The advocacy coalition framework (ACF), a unified framework for understanding the policy process, has been applied in various countries and regions; however, there are few contributions from Japan, despite seemingly favorable conditions for applying it. An exploration of what hinders ACF applications in Japan is worthwhile for developing the ACF as a framework for comparative policy process studies across various social and political settings. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review previous Japanese ACF studies. Our review found that Japanese ACF studies are fewer in number, have less coverage of policy fields, and have less methodological diversity and transparency than international trends. While most of the Japanese ACF studies supported the basic hypotheses of the ACF, we found a need to refine some hypotheses and research methods of the ACF studies. We also discuss the background factors in the inactivity of ACF studies in Japan and suggest solutions for it.
