It examines present circumstances and future directions, providing a detailed overview of theory and practice in the field.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeading scholars discuss how IPA has adopted a critical stance designed to move beyond empiricism and include understanding of the construction and analysis of social meaning. They focus on four general topics: theoretical and historical viewpoints including social constructivism; policy-analytic perspectives such as framing, narratives and emotion; policy deliberation and discourse; and interpretive methodology and reflexivity. Chapters investigate key themes ranging from arguments and emotions to performativity, policy ethnography and participatory action research. The book concludes by tracing the path of interpretive policy analysis within the discipline of public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScholars and students of public policy, political science and sociology and political theory will greatly benefit from this insightful book.
