Nudge and co-design
Nudge and co-design are gaining popularity as innovative approaches to solving similar policy problems. Nudge is an approach to public policy that changes the context in which decisions are presented to citizens in order to encourage a particular choice. Co-design uses creative and participatory methods to engage citizens, stakeholders and officials in an iterative process to respond to shared problems. Both nudge and co-design supposedly achieve…
When design meets power
Responding to the need for innovation, governments have begun experimenting with ‘design thinking’ approaches to reframe policy issues and generate and test new policy solutions. This paper examines what is new about design thinking and compares this to rational and participatory approaches to policymaking, highlighting the difference between their logics, foundations and the basis on which they ‘speak truth to power’. It then examines the impact…
The Promise of Co‐Design for Public Policy
As a novel method for creatively engaging citizens and stakeholders to find solutions to complex problems, co‐design holds great promise for policy makers. It has been vaunted as a way to generate more innovative ideas, ensure policies and services match the needs of citizens, achieve economic efficiencies by improving responsiveness, foster cooperation and trust between different groups, meaningfully engage the ‘hard to reach’, and achieve suppo…

Uses of evidence in local cultural policy
Taking an interpretive approach to evidence-based policy, this article illustrates the rhetorical and situated uses of evidence in two case studies of local cultural policy. Broadly defined as policyrelevant knowledge, evidence is selectively used by council officers in the development, delivery, and evaluation of arts programmes at two Australian municipalities. This article identifies four main uses of evidence in this context: rituals of accou…
Cultural policy, work and identity
Cultural policy often focuses on the formation of identity through arts and heritage activities. Typically, the identity targeted by governments is that of the general public or, sometimes more spe
Discourses of legitimation in New Zealand’s film policy
This article highlights the difficulties and implications of attempts to build legitimacy for state-funded cinema. Through a framing analysis of political debates and policy developments in New Zealand, and informed by international concepts and perspectives from critical and cultural policy studies, it examines the discourses employed to justify offering public funds to New Zealand filmmakers, from the 1960s through to the late 2000s. By tracing…
Measuring ‘success’ in film policy
This paper explores the limitations of the economic rationalist discourse that dominates policy‐making through an examination of the New Zealand Film Commission’s short film funding scheme. Short film provides a unique case study of the effects of policy frames on a sector where the values of culture, creativity and careers collide, and where government support has a significant impact on the number and type of productions. Short film funding is …
