Preferred term

discursive policy analysis  

Definition

  • Discursive policy analysis focuses on discussion or debate as the main object of scrutiny. Originally, the word discourse was derived from the Latin noun discursus, which means “running to and fro.” It is this dynamic aspect that we still find in discursive policy analysis, which often concerns itself with the development of meaning.
