ABSTRACT

With the development of China’s social economy, people are paying more and more attention to green development. This article applies Kingdon’s multiple streams framework(MSF) to analyze China’s new energy vehicle subsidy policy agenda. The multiple streams framework includes three mechanisms: problem stream, policy stream, and politics stream. At the stage of the problem stream, bottom-up public opinion pressure and top-down work pressure were formed. At the stage of multi-party action, the problem stream is further fermented, and the policy stream gradually matures as relevant policy recommendations are continuously put forward. In the international environment, China’s green development philosophy has a strong political atmosphere, forming a political stream. At the stage of the decision agenda, the coupling of the problem stream, the policy stream, and the politics stream, a series of focus events opened the policy window, and finally completed the introduction of policies. Under the concept of sustainable development, China has proposed a low-carbon economic development model that reduces the consumption of high-carbon energy. It has continued to promote the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles to guide people towards a low-carbon and environmentally friendly life.
