This paper argues that the governance analytical framework (GAF) is a methodology having strong potential for investigation in social policy, particularly in the case of public health. It defines the concept of governance in a pragmatic way as being the processes of interactions between the actors involved in a public affair leading to decision-making or to formulating social norms. It is postulated that any society has governance processes and, unlike other approaches, that these can be observed and be analysed from a non-normative perspective. A methodology for analysing governance processes based on five main analytical units is presented here: problems/stakes, actors, norms, processes and nodal points. These logically articulated analytical units make up a coherent methodology aimed at being used as a tool for social policy research.
本文认为，治理分析框架（GAF）是一种在社会政策研究中具有强大调查潜力的方法，尤其是在公共卫生领域。它以务实的方式将治理概念定义为参与公共事务的行为者之间的互动过程，这些互动会导致决策或形成社会规范。假定任何社会都有治理过程，并且与其他方法不同的是，这些过程可以从非规范性的角度进行观察和分析。本文提出了一种基于五个主要分析单元来分析治理过程的方法：问题/利害关系、行为者、规范、过程和节点。这些逻辑清晰的分析单元构成了一种连贯的方法，旨在用作社会政策研究的工具。
