Abstract:

The idea of agenda-setting has led to a thriving political science research field. By making references to the potential applications of this specific theoretical framework to water-related challenges, this Special Issue seeks to improve the current state of research on water governance. Agenda-setting is the process of determining when and how topics are brought up for public discussion (discussion agenda) or considered by decision-makers before they propose policies (decision agenda). Agenda-setting, to put it simply, is the process of highlighting or focusing on particular subjects. Even though this idea seems simple, agenda-setting research cannot fully fulfill its promise due to the complexity of the underlying political and sociological processes involved in water governance, which call for meticulous research methods. This Special Issue’s contributions integrate research on water governance challenges with theoretically sound agenda-setting studies.

Keywords: agenda-setting, debate, decision-making, discussion, framing, policy modification, and water governance.
