Traditionally, images have played an important role in politics and
policy making, mostly in relation to propaganda and public
communication. However, contemporary society is inundated with
visual material due to the increasing ubiquity of media and visual
technologies that facilitate the production, distribution and
consumption of images in new and innovative ways. As such, a visual
culture has emerged, and a number of authors have written on visual
culture and the technologies which underlie it. However, a clear
link to policy making is still lacking. This books links the
emergence of this visual culture to policy making and explores how
visual culture (and the growing number of technologies used to
create and distribute images) influence the course, content and
outcome of public policy making. It examines how visual culture and
policy making in contemporary society are intertwined, elaborating
concepts such as power, framing and storytelling. It then links
this to technology, and the way this can enhance power,
transparency, registration, surveillance and communication. Dealing
with the entire cycle of public policy making, from agenda-setting,
to policy design, decision making to evaluation, the book contains
diverse international case studies including water management, risk
management, live-stock diseases, minority integration, racism,
freedom of speech, healthcare, disaster evaluation and terrorism.
