Description

In recent years a set of radical new approaches to public policy has been developing.

These approaches, drawing on discursive analysis and participatory deliberative practices, have come to challenge the dominant technocratic, empiricist models in policy analysis.

In his major new book Frank Fischer brings together this new work for the first time and critically examines it.

In an accessible way he describes the theoretical, methodological, and political requirementsand implications of the new "post-empiricist" approach to public policy.

The volume includes a discussion of the social construction of policy problems, the role of interpretation and narrative analysis in policy inquiry, the dialectics of policy argumentation, and the uses of participatory policyanalysis.

The book will be required reading for anyone studying, researching, or formulating public policy.
