Abstract
The separate streams of problems, policies, and politics come together at certain critical times. Solutions become joined to problems, and both of them are joined to favorable political forces. This coupling is most likely when policy windows, opportunities for pushing pet proposals or conceptions of problems are open. …windows are opened either by the appearance of compelling problems or by happenings in the political stream. Thus, agendas are set by problems or politics, and alternatives are generated in the policy stream. (Kingdon, 1984: 21)
