The editors and the contributors have produced what can only be
described as the definitive guide to the growing field of critical
policy studies. It is comprehensive and well written and will be
welcomed by all students and practitioners of public policy and
policy analysis. No personal or institutional library would be
complete without it!' - Wayne Parsons, Cardiff University, UK 'This
comprehensive Handbook, with contributions from leading figures in
the field, is a valuable source of information on practical and
theoretical aspects of critical policy studies, its argumentative
and deliberative turn and its methods of analysis which is likely
to stimulate further debate on the big issues in the study and
analysis of policy.'BR>- Norman Fairclough, Lancaster
University, UK 'The field of critical policy studies goes from
strength to strength, and this Handbook provides a much-needed
review that will be essential reading for scholars, students and
practitioners. It is at the same time a critical introduction for
those new to the field (including those coming from more
conventional approaches to public policy), a comprehensive
reference book for people in the field and a guide to emerging
issues and challenges in the study of the communicative practice of
public policy.' - John Dryzek, University of Canberra, Australia
Critical policy studies, as this volume illustrates, challenges
conventional approaches to public policy inquiry with its focus on
discursive politics, policy argumentation and deliberation, and
interpretive modes of analysis. Assembling the voices of
established and emerging scholars, the Handbook of Critical Policy
Studies fills a major gap in the policy literature. Moving beyond
the false neutrality of empiricism and positivism, this Handbook
highlights the responsibility of inquirers to take account of
social and political context - including present conditions, past
trends and prevailing power relationships - to advance inquiry that
relies not only on experts but also on citizens in a manner
supporting and encouraging democracy. Not only does this call for a
reconsideration of the interplay of qualitative and quantitative
methods but also for robust attention to the role of values.
Accessible to scholars, practitioners and students alike, the book
offers a compilation of new critical work that both assesses past
developments and appraises emerging issues. Contributors: H. Am,

An insightful lens into the contemporary state of post-factual
politics, this timely book explores the perceived binary nature of
facts and emotions, suggesting ways to integrate them. Anna Durnova
shows that in order to understand post-factual politics, we must
unveil the role of emotion in the discursive registers through
which politics is constructed and knowledge is legitimized. By
analysing and comparing scientists' protests against the Trump
presidency with famous scientific controversies in modern medicine,
this book redefines truth as a negotiation in public discourse
between the interplay of values, beliefs and facts. Chapters
examine the ways in which people see emotions as being opposed to
facts, unpacking how this ultimate opposition limits public
discussion on science in the wake of alternative facts and 'fake
news'. Political science students and academics will find the new
discussion of post-factual politics through the lens of emotions a
timely and important read. This book is also ideal for social
movements scholars with the March for Science a key case study used
to examine the gap between emotions and facts in modern day times.

Debates on the end-of-life controversy are complex because they
seem to highjack national and cultural traditions. Where previous
books have focused on ideological grounds, The Politics of Intimacy
explores dying as the site where policies are negotiated and
implemented. Intimacy comprises the emotional experience of the end
of life and how we acknowledge it—or not—through institutions.
This process shows that end-of-life controversy relies on the
conflict between the individual and these institutions, a
relationship that is the cornerstone of Western liberal
democracies. Through interviews with mourners, stakeholders, and
medical professionals, examination of media debates in France and
the Czech Republic, Durnová shows that liberal institutions, in
their attempts to accommodate the emotional experience at the end
of life, ultimately fail. She describes this deadlock as the
“politics of intimacy,” revealing that political institutions
deploy power through collective acknowledgment of individual
emotions but fail to maintain this recognition because of this same
experience.
