    Explaining the Advocacy Agenda: Insights from the Human Security Network
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2014) Carpenter, Charli; Duygulu, Sirin; Montgomery, Alexander H.; Rapp, Anna
    Through a series of focus groups with human security practitioners, we examined how powerful organizations at the center of advocacy networks select issues for attention. Participants emphasized five sets of factors: entrepreneur attributes, adopter attributes, the broader political context, issue attributes, and intranetwork relations. However, the last two were much more consistently invoked by practitioners in their evaluations of specific candidate issues. Scholars of global agenda setting should pay particular attention to how intranetwork relations structure gatekeeper preferences within transnational advocacy spaces because these help constitute perceptions of issues' and actors' attributes in networks.
