Why does the concept of analogous agenda setting fit in well in the tradition of policymaking in the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
Analogous agenda setting suggests that the more a new issue can be made to look like an old issue, the more likely it is to be placed on the agenda. This is especially true in the United States because of the reluctance of the American government (and the American public) to expand the role of the public sector.
