Combining ethnographic data with insights from psychology, socio-linguistics, sociology and philosophy, she demonstrates how civil servants engage in a wide range of knowledge practices in the course of their daily work. These include sharing personal anecdotes, thrashing-out ideas in meetings and creating simplified representations of phenomena, as well as conducting cost-benefit analyses and commissioning academic research. Maybin analyzes the different functions that these various practices serve, from developing personal understandings of issues, to making complex social problems ‘thinkable‘, and meeting the ever-present need to make policies ‘happen‘. In doing so, she develops an original theory of policy-making as the work of building connections between a policy in developmentand powerful ideas, people, and instruments, and reveals the ‘policy know-how‘ required by civil servants to be effective in their jobs.. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Public Administration; Public Policy; Evidence-Based policy making; Health Policy; Interpretive policy a | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-78654-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-78654-1Series ISSN 2947-5805 Series E-ISSN 2947-5813 | issn_series | 2947-5805 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
