What is spatial planning saying? A conceptual and methodological framework to assess the institutionalization of nature using critical discourse analysis
Spatial planning policies are fundamental blocks for the implementation of sustainable development goals. Still, despite the growing adoption of environmental proxies, as it is nature-based solutions, the study of their institutionalization in policy and spatial planning is in the early stages. Simultaneously, the use of discursive and interpretative methods to unfold the social structures related to environmental issues is growing, nonetheless, …
Critical Policy Discourse Analysis
Critical Policy Discourse Analysis bridges the literature on critical discourse analysis (CDA) and critical policy analysis to provide a practical guide on how to combine these major approaches to critical social science. The volume gives a clear introduction to concepts and analytical procedures for critical policy discourse analysis. Utilising ten international case studies, the authors explain and critically reflect upon the methods and theori…
Rethinking intertextuality in CDA
Intertextuality – instances of texts linking to other texts (explicitly, implicitly, by referring to them or incorporating elements of them) – is a key concept with which CDA accounts for discursive elements in social relations of power and solidarity. However, ‘intertextuality’ has not been widely operationalised to chart existing relations of power and solidarity at the levels of discourse and orders of discourse. This article develops the meth…

The critique of neoliberalism is a central theme to much of the work in critical policy studies. Since its political application through Reaganomics and Thatcherism in the Anglo-Saxon world from th
Discourses of democracy in neighborhood governance
This article is concerned with neighborhood governance reflecting a policy agenda which identifies the ‘neighborhood’ as a significant space for democratic renewal. But how is democracy understood and practiced? Many neighborhood policy programs are sponsored by central or local government and public managers have an important role in translating policy into local practice. Using a critical discourse analytic framework we examine actual examples …
Democratic Milieu: Analysing Democratic Practice in the New Governance
Understanding emerging democratic practices in the context of the wider, and changing, system of governance in which they operate poses problems for research, not least because broader concepts, such as political culture, focus on historical patterns and are not able to capture contemporary developments. We approach this problems by proposing the concept ‘democratic milieu’ as a focus for interpretive understanding of the way in which the structu…
Critical Discourse Analysis in Political Studies: An Illustrative Analysis of the ‘Empowerment’ Agenda
In the first sections of this article I give a simple and general account of critical discourse analysis (CDA) and how it might contribute to the theoretical and methodological repertoire of political studies through its discourse-dialectical theory of how discourse figures as an aspect of social practices without reducing those practices to discourse. In the final section I give a short illustrative example of how a CDA approach to detailed text…
Citizen Participation and Neighbourhood Governance: Analysing Democratic Practice
From the late 1990s the New Labour government implemented changes to local government and, within the context of a discourse of 'democratic renewal', also introduced neighbourhood-based participatory Forums. In this paper, a framework is set out for analysing the democratic effectiveness of Area Forums. This framework sees Area Forums as novel social practice entailing interaction and assesses them against normative characteristics for an effecti…
Global” discourses of democracy and an English city
In many contemporary polities, democracy is portrayed as a universal good, a democratic ideal appears to be spreading globally, its practice burgeoning; it seems to be appearing for the first time in some places and deepening in established democracies. Yet, when one looks for the concrete touch of democracy in one’s own activities, groups, communities and nation it becomes elusive. I discuss this apparent contradiction in relation to discourse a…
