As a response, DPA has been reframed toward a methodological orientation. This article is a follow-up to the two special issues on DPA in 2019 and 2020. It begins by outlining the methodological framework of DPA, introducing its key considerations, the process, and the proposed organizational solution. Two DPA cases, conducted in China and Europe, are presented to showcase how the framework has been used in practice, and in authoritarian and democratic context, respectively. Then, the article brings up our discussions of and reflections on the two cases from a comparative perspective, regarding their different political contexts, foci on conflicts of interests or values/worldviews, and the design of the processes. We end the article by proposing some topics for further exploration.KEYWORDS: Deliberative policy analysismethodological frameworkdeliberationconsensus buildingpractical cases AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Hendrik Wagenaar and two anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments on this article.

A widely referenced definition of public policy is ‘whatever governments choose to do or not to do’ (Dye Citation2016, 1). Here we can understand ‘policy’ in a broader way: policy refers to public decision made by governments, communities, other public organizations, or international actors within their jurisdiction. It could be in forms of law, regulation, decree, plan or program, public rules or notice, guidelines or vision, organizational charter or constitution, international treaty or agreement, etc. DPA can be widely applied to these situations.2. In China, public participation is mandatory in three major institutional scenarios, public price hearing (Yang and Schachter Citation2003), administrative rule-making (Horsley Citation2018), and environmental impact assessment (Enserink and Alberton Citation2016).Additional informationNotes on contributorsYa LiYa Li is a professor of Public Administration at Beihang University, China, He also serves as the founding director of the Laboratory for Deliberative Policy Analysis (LDPA).

The study applies a discourse theoretic framework to explore how policy narrative might prove attractive to subjects by mobilizing ideas, norms, and fantasies through affective identification. Fantasies frame and stabilize our sense-making practices, thereby providing affective belonging and (ir)rationale for our actions. As an empirical case, the analysis of the Vision Development 2030 reform elucidates how the policy documents construct fantasmatic narratives (with reference to obstacles, threats, and plenitude to come) that set the terms of debate in articulating the ‘problem’ of Finnish HE and in supplying the favorable policy solutions. Scrutinizing a range of ideological fantasies, such as articulating gloomy forecasts and reactivating cognitive and affective memories of past successes, Vision Development sought to evoke subjects’ latent emotions and desires, mobilizing them toward a reproduction of the techno-managerialist order. Applying poststructuralist discourse theory and the concept of fantasy in policy studies, the role of desire and affective rhetoric in anticipatory future-making can be critically evaluated and the implications of such policy doctrines contemplated.","PeriodicalId":51625,"journal":{"name":"Critical Policy Studies","volume":" 17","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for this purpose, the internal stabilization of the economy also has to be ensured. Competition state-ness aims to reconcile domestic and global market dynamics. This paper addresses this challenge from a Cultural Political Economy perspective, arguing that the specific way this is done results from ideas, institutional selectivities and materiality. As the supranational level gained importance during globalization, this paper uses the European competition state project as an empirical example. It uses a Critical Discourse Analysis to analyze the economic imaginaries on competition of the European socio-economic strategy, Europe 2020. The central findings are two imaginaries on competition that address different market dynamics in the neoliberal political economy: the ‘sovereign entity’ that promotes a well-functioning domestic market, and the ‘competitive entity’ that aims to increase European competitiveness to thrive on the world market. Although tensions arise between the imaginaries, it is argued in the end that three strategies based on them constitute the European competition state project.","PeriodicalId":51625,"journal":{"name":"Critical Policy Studies","volume":"60 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135934792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Sustainable development discourse and development aid in Germany: tracking the changes from environmental protectionism towards private sector opportunities","authors":"Fabio Schojan, Amanda Machin, Magdalene Silberberger","doi":"10.1080/19460171.2023.2265988","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19460171.2023.2265988","url":null,"abstract":"‘Sustainable Development’ can be understood as a widely used discourse that has become even more prominent since the publication of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development in 2015. In this paper we analyze the way sustainable development discourse unfolds within the context of development aid in Germany by undertaking a discourse analysis of reports on development policy published 1973–2017 by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. Our analysis reveals that the sustainable development discourse is characterized by distinct components and storylines that change over time. We detect, in general, a shift away from a focus on environmental protection toward an emphasis on the role of the private sector in leading sustainable development. We argue, therefore, that although development is now only legitimate if it is ‘sustainable’, the discourse apparently facilitates the uneven allocation of development aid. The concern that arises here is that although Agenda 2030 pledges to take “bold and transformative steps’ to secure the planet and to leave ‘no one behind” the least developed states who cannot provide ‘private sector opportunities’ or fulfil ‘national self-responsibilities’ for sustainable development are indeed being ‘left behind’.","PeriodicalId":51625,"journal":{"name":"Critical Policy Studies","volume":"46 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136376380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Jeopardizing liberal democracy: the trouble with demarchy","authors":"Regina Queiroz","doi":"10.1080/19460171.2023.2267631","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19460171.2023.2267631","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTFriedrich Hayek presents a demarchic conception of democracy as a solution for what he takes to be the inherently corrupt and totalitarian nature of liberal democracy. While still preserving the label ‘liberal representative democracy’, this Hayekian demarchy precludes parliamentary and governmental institutions from providing positive laws and policies on behalf of their constituents where this would require the transfer of the private property of individuals. Such laws and policies would, on this demarchic conception of liberal democracy, undermine individuals’ free usufruct. I argue that demarchy’s detachment from any concern with the well-being of many of its citizens is an illiberal and anti-democratic (sub)version of liberal democracy that increases populism and risks crushing liberal democracy between the pseudo- and anti-liberal support of a totalitarian majoritarian people’s sovereign power and a minoritarian anti-democratic elite. As such, liberal democracy conceived of in Hayekian demarchic terms is itself an oppressive totalitarian political theory incapable of preventing an increase in illiberal and anti-liberal political forces. Moreover, I argue that it is imperative that we acknowledge and appreciate the extent to which demarchy undermines, rather than strengthens, liberal democracy.KEYWORDS: Demarchyilliberalismliberal democracymarketspopulism AcknowledgmentsThe author is grateful for the helpful comments and suggestions of the anonymous reviewers and Britt Harrison.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. https://www.blaetter.de/aktuell/dokumente/»wir-werden-wege-finden-die-parlamentarische-mitbestimmung-so-zu-gestalten-dass-si, accessed 27th July.2.
