This Element explores the uncertain future of public policy
practice and scholarship in an age of radical disruption. Building
on foundational ideas in policy sciences, we argue that an
anachronistic instrumental rationalism underlies contemporary
policy logic and limits efforts to understand new policy
challenges. We consider whether the policy sciences framework can
be reframed to facilitate deeper understandings of this
anachronistic epistemic, in anticipation of a research agenda about
epistemic destabilization and contestation. The Element applies
this theoretical provocation to environmental policy and
sustainability, issues about which policymaking proceeds amid
unpredictable contexts and rising sociopolitical turbulence that
portend a liminal state in the transition from one way of thinking
to another. The Element concludes by contemplating the fate of
policy's epistemic instability, anticipating what policy
understandings will emerge in a new system, and questioning the
degree to which either presages a seismic shift in the relationship
between policy and society.
