The Politics of Policy Analysis

<p>This book focuses on two key ways to improve the literature surrounding policy analysis. Firstly it explores the implications of new developments in policy process research on the role of psychology in communication and the multi-centric nature of policymaking. This is particularly important since policy analysts engage with policymakers who operate in an environment over which they have limited understanding and even less control. Secondly it incorporates insights from studies of power co-production feminism and decolonisation to redraw the boundaries of policy-relevant knowledge. These insights help raise new questions and change expectations about the role and impact of policy analysis.</p>
