I argue that in making sense of such a policy we should, as interpretive theories of governance tell us, pay attention to the ideas and beliefs that shaped it and to the longer genealogy that made those ideas possible. In addition, I argue, it is important to study a policy not only as an outcome of the actions of various agents but also as a cause of events in the domains into which it enters. Examining how policies 'emerge' out of a complex of activities, and how they then become a part of these, is, I suggest, a vital complement to other methodologies, and enables us to ask broad political-theoretical questions of both policy and politics. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Policy & Politics is the property of Policy Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
