RC32 - Public Policy and Administration

A forum in the latest issue of the journal Critical Policy Studies includes an article about the interpretive approach to policy, along with critiques from several members of an international network of scholars interested in critical and interpretive policy studies. This forum should be especially useful for teaching students about interpretive/critical methods, their distinctiveness from positivist approaches, and the relation between epistemology, theoretical perspective, and methodology/methods.

Through an arrangement with the publisher, these articles have been made available for free downloading at this link: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rcps20/current .
