Miller later lays out a distinction between narratives and stories, with little clear demarcation separating the two. This problem points to a larger issue within this approach: speaking past the mainstream of policy studies. While the philosophical gap between the Narrative Politics approach, which Miller bases in alethic relativism (123), and positivist approaches to policy studies is wide, engaging more with certain concepts rather than throwing them out with the bathwater could lead the two approaches to speak to one another more readily. For example, it is unclear how the concept of ‘cultural evolution’ is a significant improvement from related concepts like policy change or policy learning. Miller concludes the book with an examination of the value of the Narrative Politics approach and a discussion of the ultimate role of the scholar curator. The stated goals of the approach, to catalog competing truth claims and better understand the other, are laudable and important. Now, more than ever, we should be making concerted efforts to better understand the motivations and meanings behind narratives that we may find distasteful and make efforts to engage with those with whom we disagree. But should scholars not seek to do more than catalog competing narratives? Without a firm basis for making truth claims of our own, how can we speak back to the narratives of oppressive forces? Is the curator not ultimately as detached from their subject as the scientist is from hers? Ultimately, Narrative Politics in Public Policy is a thought-provoking and compelling addition to the literature on the politics of storytelling, and the evolution of cannabis policy in the United States. The Narrative Politics approach has the capacity to contribute to our knowledge of various other policy fields, and I hope that other scholars will take up the approach and develop it.","PeriodicalId":51625,"journal":{"name":"Critical Policy Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"117 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48500153","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}

With the aim of making things more ‘direct’, ‘open’, and ‘streamlined,’ the borough’s council decided in 2008 to outsource the bulk of its services in two large contracts to the professional service firm Capita Plc. However, contrary to the image of institutional transparency presented, this article demonstrates that the large-scale outsourcing of services has contributed to the emergence of complex contractualized governance arrangements that raise new problems of legibility. Drawing from the methodological insights of Institutional Ethnography, I investigate how generating knowledge about such arrangements has posed a problem for local residents and community groups who have sought to understand the relationships under which their services are designed, financed, and delivered. Through infrastructures of dissent, I explore how local residents have developed strategies for investigating service arrangements, interrogating claims to value and efficiency, and exposing institutional blindspots in service provision. The article concludes by discussing the epistemological problems posed by neoliberal governance arrangements today, and how they raise challenges for those who confront them.","PeriodicalId":51625,"journal":{"name":"Critical Policy Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"352 - 370"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42368439","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}

Participation policies that do not change established behaviour have limited, if any, impact. But what are the mechanisms whereby participatory governance becomes institutionalised? Using a case study of Barcelona, the paper analyses the relationship between formal rules, informal practices and narratives. Drawing on 90 interviews, the paper argues that in the context of neoliberal austerity formal rules proved surprisingly resilient, but informal practices and narratives became increasingly dis-aligned as civil society actors developed innovative approaches and more insistent demands. These novel informal practices and narratives subsequently underpinned the renaissance in participatory governance associated with the 2015-2019 Barcelona en Comú government. The paper makes theoretical and practical contributions regarding the drivers of stability and change. While formal rules may endure over time, dynamism in participatory governance depends upon the relationship between rules, practices and narratives.","PeriodicalId":51625,"journal":{"name":"Critical Policy Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"204 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42443590","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}
