By stressing the importance of subjectivity and interpretation,
social constructionism offers a different conception of reality
from the traditional approach to housing policy analysis. This book
provides an up-to-date review of the social constructionist
perspective and considers its philosophical basis. It discusses how
social problems are constructed and, in turn, how this informs
policy-making. It is divided into two parts. The first section is
theoretical and discusses the variety of conceptual approaches
utilised within the constructionist paradigm. The second part
provides a number of empirically based case studies from the UK and
Australia to illustrate the different methodologies that form the
social constructionist corpus. The book also evaluates both the
criticisms that have been made against the social constructionist
perspective and the strengths and weaknesses of constructionist
methods. It therefore contributes to the development of a future
research agenda for social constructionist research in housing and
urban policy.
