项目摘要

The Comparative Policy Agendas Project (CAP) is a 12 nation collaborative research endeavor involving approximately 40 political scientists and their graduate students (www.comparativeangendas.org). The core of the project is a comprehensive policy topic classification system developed with the support of the National Science Foundation. This classification system, originally developed to study issue agendas at the national level in the United States, is now being used (with minimal modifications) to compare issue attention across nations.The Comparative Policy Agendas Project workshop has two purposes. The first,which deals with intellectual merit, is to promote additional theorizing about the factors influencing issue agendas across the nations. While some work has made important advances in this area, most the studies using this data have been of a more exploratory nature. By allowing a wide variety of scholars to meet in a face-to-face setting, it is hoped that the interaction will lead to a more theoretically based form of inquiry. The second purpose, which concerns broader impacts, is connected to the funding for graduate students. Graduate students will be introduced to this data as well as computer techniques for classification methods and scraping technologies. It is hoped that these tools will allow the students to either use the data provided by the CAP in interesting and innovative ways or will provide the students with tools that facilitate their own research.

比较政策议程项目 (CAP) 是一项 12 个国家的合作研究项目，涉及约 40 名政治学家及其研究生 (www.comparativeangendas.org)。该项目的核心是在国家科学基金会的支持下开发的综合政策主题分类系统。这个分类系统最初是为了研究美国国家层面的问题议程而开发的，现在被用来（经过最小的修改）来比较各国对问题的关注程度。比较政策议程项目研讨会有两个目的。第一个涉及智力价值，是促进关于影响各国问题议程的因素的更多理论。虽然一些工作在这一领域取得了重要进展，但大多数使用这些数据的研究都更具探索性。通过允许各种各样的学者在面对面的环境中会面，希望这种互动能够带来一种更加基于理论的探究形式。第二个目的涉及更广泛的影响，与研究生的资助有关。将向研究生介绍这些数据以及用于分类方法和抓取技术的计算机技术。希望这些工具能够让学生以有趣和创新的方式使用 CAP 提供的数据，或者为学生提供促进他们自己研究的工具。
