Laying down the foundations of a critical sociological approach to
the interdisciplinary domain of public policy, this insightful book
presents the first systematic reflection on the use of Bourdieu’s
theory of social fields to analyse policy processes. Engaging with
theoretical dimensions, it provides innovative methodological
tools, both quantitative and qualitative in nature, to be used in
the wider field of policy studies. Bringing together expert
contributors from across the globe, the book explores a diverse
range of case studies on various policy sectors and processes such
as international policy circulation and policy implementation.
Offering a wealth of critical analysis, chapters highlight the
unsatisfactory nature of mainstream policy approaches and advocate
for the use of Bourdieu’s sociological theory to account for the
social milieus, structures of relationships, and power dynamics in
which public policies are made. Encompassing numerous actors and
groups, this theory enables a critical sociological understanding
of policy orientations by unveiling the structures of relationships
in policymaking. Innovative and perceptive in its approach, this
book will prove to be an important resource for scholars and
students interested in the fields of critical policy studies,
public policy, public administration and management, and sociology.
