Présentation de l'éditeur
Laying down the foundations of a critical sociological approach to the
interdisciplinary domain of public policy, this insightful book presents
the first systematic reflection on the use of Bourdieu’s theory of
social fields to analyse policy processes. Engaging with theoretical
dimensions, it provides innovative methodological tools, both
quantitative and qualitative in nature, to be used in the wider field of
policy studies.
Bringing together expert contributors from
across the globe, the book explores a diverse range of case studies on
various policy sectors and processes such as international policy
circulation and policy implementation. Offering a wealth of critical
analysis, chapters highlight the unsatisfactory nature of mainstream
policy approaches and advocate for the use of Bourdieu’s sociological
theory to account for the social milieus, structures of relationships
and power dynamics in which public policies are made. Encompassing
numerous actors and groups, this theory enables a critical sociological
understanding of policy orientations by unveiling the structures of
relationships in policymaking.
Innovative and perceptive in its
approach, this book will prove to be an important resource for scholars
and students interested in the fields of critical policy studies,
public policy, public administration and management, and sociology.
