Abstract: Abstract From the perspective of Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), the study conceptualizes “external intervention - policy orientation learning” framework on the evolution of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation (STI) policies under the background of national technology strategy. Based on textual analysis of 122 copies of Shanghai’s STI policy texts from 1992 to 2022, the major findings include: (1) The evolution of STI policies is driven by the change of core beliefs and instrumental beliefs among the coalitions: government, intermediaries and enterprises; (2) The evolution experienced three stages: cultivation, growth, and mature stage. Their respective beliefs are influenced by external events, domestic and international circumstances together with policy orientation learning. Besides, current policy deficiencies include motivation scarcity from demand side, lack of industry perspective and repeating similarities among surrounding cities. The study suggests that the advocacy coalitions should collaborate and provide industry-focused policies, strengthening connections among policy groups with higher-quality orientation under Yangtze River Delta Integration Strategy.
