21 years after "What is Policy?" by Stephen Ball

http://bitly.com/1x5CX9l This paper might be described as an exercise in theoretical heurism. It is intentionally tentative and open-ended. It is also, because of constraints of space, rather schematic at times. I realise that on occasion it resorts to aphorism rather than argument. It rests in part on an oddly unfashionable position in educational and sociological research. That is, that in the analysis of complex social issues — like policy — two theories are probably better than one. Or to put it another way, the complexity and scope of policy analysis — from an interest in the workings of the state to a concern with contexts of practice and the distributional outcomes of policy — preclude the possibility of successful single theory explanations. What we need in policy analysis is a toolbox of diverse concepts and theories. Thus, I want to replace the modernist theoretical project of abstract parsimony with a more post-modernist one of localised complexity.
