1. Policy as story telling
This book will be a manual on policy analysis. It will be written as if I were a policy analyst or senior civil servant advising a minister on public service reform; what rules of thumb, what do’s and don’ts, stem from an interpretive approach? Too much interpretive policy analysis is content to remain a cult literature. I seek to bring it out of its closet, using storytelling as the main vehicle for writing a practical guide on policy analysis.
2. Politics as fiction
This book will explore the study of politics as a human not a social science with chapters on politics as science, life history, ethnography, games, history, gender, and fiction.
