Abstract
To what extent do stakeholders in a conflict over natural resources interact with actors of congruent policy core beliefs or with actors who have perceived influence? The response to this question is structured principally by the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) using questionnaire and interview data collected from stakeholders involved in California Marine Protected Area policy The findings indicate that shared beliefs are the best predictor for policy network relationships, supporting the ACE Perceived influence, while less important than shared beliefs, is another significant predictor.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
