An Institutional Account of China's HIV/AIDS Policy Process from 1985 to 2010
Bibliographic record
Abstract
China's HIV/AIDS policy progress displays a long‐term stagnancy followed by a sudden revolution. This article utilizes multiple theoretical tools to interpret this policy progress. It identifies four phases of China's HIV/AIDS policy process: (1) institutional endurance interpreted by path dependence from historical institutionalism; (2) deinstitutionalization explained by Oliver's antecedents of deinstitutionalization; (3) the radical shift interpreted by Kingdon's agenda‐setting theory; and (4) reinstitutionalization and diffusion of institutional theory. This study demonstrates the utility of “creative borrowing”—employing multiple theoretical tools to harness the strengths of each. Doing so reveals that a country's past experience with similar policy issues, the perceived political and moral legitimacy of existing policies, and a country's existing political interests can exert resistance to change. In the presence of multiple pressures for change, policy entrepreneurs who can identify policy windows and couple multiple streams may achieve radical policy shifts. El progreso legislativo relacionado al VIH/SIDA en China muestra un estancamiento a largo plazo seguido de una revolución repentina. El objetivo de este estudio es utilizar múltiples herramientas teoréticas para interpretar este progreso legislativo. Se identifican cuatro fases en el progreso de la legislación china sobre el VIH/SIDA: (1) Resistencia Institucional, interpretada por la dependencia al modelo del institucionalismo histórico; (2) Desinstitucionalización, explicada por los antecedentes de desinstitucionalización de Oliver; (3) el Cambio Radical, interpretado por la teoría del establecimiento de agendas políticas de Kingdon, y (4) Reinstitucionalización y Difusión de la teoría institucional. Este estudio muestra la utilidad del “préstamos creativo”—el empleo de múltiples herramientas teóricas para aprovechar las fortalezas de cada una. Este estudio revela que experiencias pasadas con temas legislativos similares, la percepción de legitimidad política y moral de las políticas existentes, y los intereses políticos existentes en el país pueden ejercer una resistencia al cambio Dada la presencia de múltiples presiones para el cambio, emprendedores políticos que identifiquen oportunidades en las políticas y combinen múltiples enfoques pueden lograr cambios políticos radicales.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
