This book offers a novel, refreshing and politically engaged way to
think about public policy. Instead of treating policy as simply the
government's best efforts to address problems, it offers a way to
question critically how policies produce "problems" as particular
sorts of problems, with important political implications.
Governing, it is argued, takes place through these
problematizations. According to the authors, interrogating policies
and policy proposals as problematizations involves asking questions
about the assumptions they rely upon, how they have been made, what
their effects are, as well as how they could be unmade. To enable
this form of critical analysis, this book introduces an analytic
strategy, the "What's the Problem Represented to be?" (WPR)
approach. It features examples of applications of the approach with
topics as diverse as obesity, economic policy, migration, drug and
alcohol policy, and gender equality to illustrate the growing
popularity of this way of thinking and to provide clear and useful
examples of poststructural policy analysis in practice.
