This book presents a much needed guide to interpretative techniques and methods for policy research. The author begins by describing what interpretative approaches are and what they can mean to policy analysis.

The author shifts the frame of reference from thinking about values as costs and benefits to thinking about them more as a set of meanings. The book concludes with a chapter on how to move from "fieldwork to deskwork to textwork".

 
Underlying Assumptions of an Interpretive Approach
The Importance of Local Knowledge

 
 
Accessing Local Knowledge
Identifying Interpretive Communities and Policy Artifacts

 
 
Symbolic Language
 
Symbolic Objects
 
Symbolic Acts
 
Moving from Fieldwork and Deskwork to Textwork and Beyond

Dvora Yanow

I am interested in general in the communication of meaning in organizational and policy settings. Present research includes comparative immigrant and integration policies, Dutch race-ethnic category-making, reflective practice and practice studies, science museums and the idea of 'science,' and US Institutional Review Board and other research regulatory policies and practices.
