This study examines the case of gray wolf reintroduction in Colorado. The reintroduction decision was decided by state popular vote on a citizen‐introduced ballot initiative, Proposition 114, in 2020. While a majority of Coloradans voted in favor of reintroduction, this vote was almost exclusively divided along rural–urban geographic lines. To analyze these cleavages and the conflict therein, this study examines the changing coalitional discourse surrounding wolf reintroduction policy in Colorado. This study captures changes in the policy conflict from the beginning of 2020 when the ballot initiative to reintroduce gray wolves was first proposed, to the passage of that initiative on the November 2020 ballot, through the related legislative bills proposed in the spring of 2021 in an effort to maintain rural representation in the reintroduction process. This case utilizes the advocacy coalition framework (ACF) and emotion belief analysis (EBA) to analyze news media and legislative testimony. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
