Scope/Description:

Critical Policy Studies brings contemporary theoretical and methodological discussions both normative and empirical to bear on the understanding and analysis of public policy at local national and global levels. The journal offers a unique forum for researchers policymakers and practitioners to challenge established accounts of policyanalytic methods to explore alternative approaches to policymaking and to promote democratic governance. To this end the journal concentrates on the relation of political and policy theory to specific practices of governance in particular as they pertain to democratic governance participatory practices social justice and general public welfare. This necessitates an emphasis on the interplay between qualitative and quantitative modes of inquiry. The journal thus moves beyond narrow empirical approaches to pay special attention to interpretive argumentative discursive approaches to policymaking.
