interpretive policy analysis  

Definición

  • Interpretive policy analysis has become the umbrella term used by many policy researchers, university-based, governmentally based, and consulting firm–based, for approaches that use field research and other methods inspired, influenced, or undergirded by interpretive philosophical presuppositions (such as those of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and critical theory). These approaches are considered alternatives to nowtraditional quantitative policy analytic tools, such as cost-benefit analysis and survey research, which are seen as grounded in positivist philosophical presuppositions concerning the reality status (ontology) of the subject of study and its knowability (epistemology).
