由于话语制度主义者倾向于将政策制定中的“观念问题”与“观念的力量”混为一谈,因此很少有明确的理论化观念力量。为了填补这一空白,贡献定义概念权力的能力,演员(无论是个人还是集体)通过使用概念要素来影响其他行为者的规范和认知信念,并根据话语制度主义文献的见解,提出了三种不同类型的概念权力:通过思想产生的权力,被理解为行为者通过使用概念要素说服其他行为者接受和采纳其观点的能力;对思想的权力,即强加思想和抵制将其他思想纳入决策竞技场的权力;以及思想中的权力,即通过建立霸权或对所考虑的思想施加限制的机构来实现。
Owing to the tendency of discursive institutionalists to conflate the notion that 'ideas matter' for policy-making with the 'power of ideas', little has been done to explicitly theorize ideational power. To fill this lacuna, the contribution defines ideational power as the capacity of actors (whether individual or collective) to influence other actors' normative and cognitive beliefs through the use of ideational elements, and - based on insights from the discursive institutionalist literature - suggests three different types of ideational power: power through ideas, understood as the capacity of actors to persuade other actors to accept and adopt their views through the use of ideational elements; power over ideas, meaning the imposition of ideas and the power to resist the inclusion of alternative ideas into the policy-making arena; and power in ideas, which takes place through the establishing of hegemony or institutions imposing constraints on what ideas are considered.
