当社会面临重大的破坏性紧急情况时，政治家和公共政策的命运岌岌可危。政府行为者和他们的批评者都会试图逃避对其发生的指责，巩固/加强他们的政治资本，推进/捍卫他们所代表的政策。因此，危机产生了框架竞赛，以符合其政治目的和对未来政策方向的愿景的方式来解释事件、原因、责任和所涉及的教训。本文剖析了这些过程，阐明了危机利用理论的基础。根据15个危机引发的框架竞赛案例，我们确定了可能解释危机的政治（对现任公职人员/机构的影响）和政策（对计划的影响）影响的潜在关键因素。
When societies are confronted with major, disruptive emergencies, the fate of politicians and public policies hangs in the balance. Both government actors and their critics will try to escape blame for their occurrence, consolidate/strengthen their political capital, and advance/defend the policies they stand for. Crises thus generate framing contests to interpret events, their causes, and the responsibilities and lessons involved in ways that suit their political purposes and visions of future policy directions. This article dissects these processes and articulates foundations for a theory of crisis exploitation. Drawing on 15 cases of crisis-induced framing contests, we identify potentially crucial factors that may explain both the political (effects on incumbent office-holders/institutions) and policy (effects on programs) impacts of crises.
