Deliberative Policy Analysis

What kind of policy analysis is required now that governments increasingly encounter the limits of governing? Exploring the contexts of politics and policy making, this 2003 book presents an original analysis of the relationship between state and society, and new possibilities for collective learning and conflict resolution. The key insight of the book is that democratic governance calls for a new deliberatively-oriented policy analysis. Traditionally policy analysis has been state-centered, based on the assumption that central government is self-evidently the locus of governing. Drawing on detailed empirical examples, the book examines the influence of developments such as increasing ethnic and cultural diversity, the complexity of socio-technical systems, and the impact of transnational arrangements on national policy making. This contextual approach indicates the need to rethink the relationship between social theory, policy analysis, and politics. The book is essential reading for all those involved in the study of public policy.

Policy Debates on Reprogenetics

In vielen europäischen Ländern wurden reprogenetische Praktiken, wie embryonale Stammzellenforschung, Präimplantationsdiagnostik oder das Klonen zu Forschungszwecken kontrovers diskutiert. Inwieweit haben diese öffentlichen Debatten Einfluss auf politische Steuerung wissenschaftlicher Entwicklung? An Deutschland und Großbritannien zeigt die Autorin, dass der Ausweitung »bioethischer« öffentlicher Debatten nicht notwendigerweise eine Demokratisierung der Forschungspolitik folgt.

The role of the media has become a central part of politics and policy in the twenty-first century. That dominance has led many to suggest a trend of 'dumbing down': the privileging of style over content. In this provocative new book, Maarten Hajer takes issue with the 'dumbing down' thesis both on theoretical and empirical grounds. He aims to show how authoritative governance remains possible in crisis driven circumstances and a highly 'mediatized' world. The book elaborates a communicative understanding of authority, which, the author argues, can create a new basis for authoritative governance in a world marked by political and institutional fragmentation. Extending his discourse-analytica...
