We like to invite you to send us a paper abstract for the panel we will propose on the work of practitioners in policy analysis. The panel theme is as follows:
Studies of policy implementation, community activism and front-line work demonstrate a sustained interest in the everyday practices of people ‘on the ground’. In particular, within the field of urban governance, there is an emergent literature on participation and deliberation, that focuses on how different types of practitioners are able to build vital coalitions, in the boundary spaces between government, civil society and communities in order to get things done. This panel aims to draw together innovative and resonant new contributions to this international field from both early career researchers and more established scholars. We want to provoke critical and lively debate in order to deepen our understanding of these practices and significance of such practitioners.

Interpretive approaches to research and analysis - methodologies and methods concerned with situated meaning(s), historical context(s), and the importance of human subjectivity- are experiencing renewed interest and revitalisation in the social sciences broadly. They constitute the basic cornerstone of a critical approach to policy analysis which challenges the positivism and scientism that still characterize much policy analytic research.
Following on successful meetings in Birmingham, Amsterdam, Essex, Kassel, Grenoble, Cardiff, Tilburg and Vienna, the 9th International Conference in Interpretive Policy Analysis will be held in Wageningen, the Netherlands, hosted by several research groups at Wageningen University. The theme for the meeting is 'Governance and beyond: Knowledge, technology and communication in a globalizing world.'
