本研究は、英国のネットゼロ政策における政府、専門家、一般市民の間のコンセンサスを分析。計算論的内容分析とテーマ分析を用いて、政策優先事項のフィルタリング過程を追跡した。その結果、政府の政策はネットゼロ目標を直接否定するのではなく、コスト、規制、市場、技術、安全保障の枠組みを通じて狭め、沈黙や曖昧さによって未発展のままにする「選択的同化」メカニズムが明らかになった。コンセンサスギャップは目標自体の不一致ではなく、政策枠組みへの選択的フィルタリングによって生じている。
English
This study analyzes consensus in the UK's net zero discourse across government, expert, and public domains. Using computational content and thematic analysis, it traces how policy priorities are filtered. The findings reveal a mechanism of 'Selective Assimilation,' where state policy narrows net zero priorities through cost, regulation, market, technology, and security framing, or leaves them underdeveloped through silence and ambiguity. The consensus gap arises from selective filtering rather than direct disagreement over the net zero goal.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
英国のネットゼロ政策分析は、日本のGX政策策定プロセスにも示唆を与える。特に、政策が優先事項を選択的に取り込むメカニズムは、日本のGX実現に向けた政策立案において、見過ごされがちな課題を浮き彫りにする。日本では、政府と企業・市民の間のコンセンサス形成が重要であり、本手法は参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a novel analytical framework for understanding how net zero policy consensus is shaped through selective filtering. Globally, it contributes to debates on policy implementation gaps and the political economy of climate transitions. The methodology of tracing silences and framing in policy documents can be applied to other national contexts, including Japan's GX policy.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers studying policy framing and consensus in net zero transitions can adopt the 'Selective Assimilation' framework and computational methodology.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can use the findings to recognize how implicit filtering of priorities may create consensus gaps, informing more inclusive policy design.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Consensus in the United Kingdom’s net zero discourse across government, expert, and public domain was examined. Computational content and thematic analysis was used to trace the filtration of policy priorities. Out of eight topics meeting the silence criteria: six were absolute silences in the government policy, while two were structural silences. A further coding stage thematically analysed 159 excerpts and showed state policy does not simply reject net zero priorities. Instead, it narrows them through cost, regulation, market, technology, and security framing, or leaves them underdeveloped through silence, ambiguity, and delay. These patterns fit into two higher-order constructs which together support a broader mechanism of Selective Assimilation. The findings suggest a consensus gap produced not by direct disagreement over the goal of net zero, but by selective filtering of which concerns enter the official policy frame. The result is a narrower version of consensus than the wider documentary record supports.
