Summary/Abstract: Theuseofthediscursiveinstitutionalism(ID)proposedbyV.A.Schmidttostudyingpub- lic policy creation is becoming increasingly popular. ID includes three elements: ideas, the arena of discourse, and actors. The actors, the participants in the debate, and are the car- riers of an idea that is transformed into public policy in the process of discourse. Schmidt has not presented a closed catalogue of discourse actors, although it is important, from the point of view of the systematisation of ID, to develop one. Therefore, the aim of the pre- sented research is to identify the actors of public discourse taken into account in research using the ID perspective. The analysis of articles applying ID was conducted according to the guidelines of a systematic literature review of journals indexed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Based on 103 articles, the research questions were answered: 1) which types of actors are listed most frequently in public discourse studied using the ID approach?, 2) in which configurations do actors co-occur with each other in this re- search?, 3) what sources of public discourse recording are used to reconstruct the actors’ discourse? A catalogue of actors considered so far in studies using the ID approach was identified, and the main focus of the research about discourse was defined, systematising the approach of V.A. Schmidt.
