Juggling Values and Talking Politics
A Values-Persuasive Perspective on Democracy
AvLinda C. Botterill
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 440 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This insightful book presents a fresh approach to debate and decision making in liberal democracies. Linda Courtenay Botterill explores the significance of personal values and value trade-offs in politics and policy, underlining the importance of more civil and constructive democratic processes.Chapters examine liberal democracies on the basis of a values-persuasive perspective, anchored in a psychological finding that there is a finite number of human values that are shared by all. Botterill assesses how democratic debate arises from different perceptions of the ‘good society’ and how it should be achieved, highlighting that these differences are values-based as political choices are about what is ‘right’. She also argues that democratic choices are defined by persuasion, demonstrating that politics is constructed through language. Drawing on interdisciplinary insights from political science, psychology, political communication and rhetoric studies, the book analyses political debate from the perspective of common ground, rather than division.Written in a clear and accessible manner, Juggling Values and Talking Politics is a vital resource for scholars and students of political science, public policy and political psychology. Its focus on value-centred policy issues also makes this prime reading for policy-makers, politicians and political staffers.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In 1992 Australia’s Commonwealth and State governments announced the introduction of a National Drought Policy adopting an innovative risk management approach, which received broad support from Australia’s major political parties and the policy community. This trail-blazing attempt and the experiences with the development and implementation of this policy over the past decade have intrigued the international scientific and policy communities. The present book comprises an academically focused collection of papers, which the Editors hope will provide others moving in a similar direction with the benefit of experience. The work highlights the successes and challenges of a move from disaster to risk management in responding to drought.As such it will be a valuable and useful addition to the international literature on drought preparedness and response.

Interrogating Public Policy Theory
A Political Values Perspective
AvLinda C. Botterill,Alan Fenna
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
1 608 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A common refrain when policy diverges from 'ideal' is 'if only we could take the politics out of the policy process'. The authors of this book argue that rationalist dreams of this nature fail to recognize that policy making is inherently part of politics; policy is the mechanism for giving citizens in a democracy the societal outcomes they seek. In a new and innovative way of thinking about public policy, the book places values at the centre of the analysis. It argues that citizens have differing visions of the good society and different values priorities. In making decisions on behalf of the whole community, policy makers need to recognize and manage these values differences. And in the same way, students of the policy process need to connect what government does with the wider political processes typical of a democratic society.The book casts a critical eye over public policy theory, introduces the reader to research on human values, explores the importance of language, rhetoric and persuasion, and draws on the insights from various strands of psychology in order to understand the realities of policy making in liberal democracies. In so doing, Interrogating Public Policy Theory offers a refreshing alternative to existing analyses of the policy process.This book will be a vital tool for public policy scholars, as well as those upper-level students searching for a map of the policy studies field and a critical examination of the dominant theoretical perspectives. It will also be a unique, and innovative, reference for public policy practitioners seeking more realistic accounts of the policy process that help conceptualize the nature of policy conflict.
