This book provides a series of contemporary and international policy case studies analysed through discursive methodological approaches in the traditions of critical discourse analysis, social semiotics and discourse theory. This is the first volume that connects this discursive methodology systematically to the field of interpretive policy analysis and will therefore be an essential book for researchers who wish to include a discursive analysis in their interpretive policy research.
Industry Reviews
'This is a significant contribution to the fields of critical discourse and critical policy studies. With a diverse selection of relevant contemporary policy issues, as well as explicit discussions of the methodological tools deployed and their connection to critical social theories, the book as a whole offers a valuable snapshot of the potential of integrated approaches, showing how they can enhance structurally-oriented policy critiques by grounding them in the specifics of discursive practices.'
--Susana Martinez Guillem, University of New Mexico, US

'This volume testifies to the productive encounter between Critical Policy Studies and Discourse Analysis. Accessible, informative and exhaustive, it presents model examples of discourse research in the area of policy research.'
--Johannes Angermuller, The Open University, UK

'By bringing together, in a highly innovative and informative way, up-to-date theory, detailed methodological guidance and well-documented empirical examples, Critical Policy Discourse Analysis is now the go-to book for everyone interested in the contribution of critical discourse analysis to policy studies. The book captures the enormous theoretical and methodological progress CDA has made over the last decade. It convincingly demonstrates that CDA should be part of the standard repertoire of policy analysis and a core topic of every policy studies curriculum.'
--Hendrik Wagenaar, King's College London, UK and The University of Canberra, Australia
