This volume brings together scholars working the relatively new terrain of ethnographic policy studies to debate and provisionally chart the methodological and theoretical parameters of such a project. The opening section on theory will survey the conceptual antecedents of qualitative policy studies, citing the relevant literature and laying out an agenda for research. The section on methods will consist of accounts of innovative field experiences and analytic approaches that can illuminate the new field. The final section on experiences will extend the reflections in the methods section with concrete case studies.

Excerpt: "Madeline Moffet stood on the corner beside the big sign that said USE DRAGON MOTOR OIL. She liked to think of the sign as a warning, BEWARE OF DRAGONS and the dragons as Mr. and Mrs. Lippett who lived in the farm house beside the sign. Muffs boarded with them. She had been told to go out and play but there was no one to play with except the chickens. They made little friendly noises and tilted their heads. “Talk! Talk!” they said and flocked after her."

When redheaded Judy Bolton and her friend, Holly Potter, set out after the green car, they never dream that the chase is going to lead them into a far greater mystery than just the theft of Holly''s typewriter. What Judy sees under the surface of the pond by the beaver dam is enough to mystify—and terrify—anyone, and the young detective can''t be blamed for not immediately realising the significance of the "apparition." (Goodreads)

"What do you mean?" Judy asks her new friend, Clarissa Valentine. "How could you look in a mirror and not see your reflection?" When Clarissa insists that this strange thing has happened to her, Judy and the other girls think she is teasing them. But when Clarissa disappears in the middle of a television show, even Judy has to admit something peculiar is going on. The three other girls are angry, because with Clarissa went the twenty dollars they had loaned her. But Judy still believes in Clarissa, though something certainly is very wrong. Judy wishes her FBI husband, Peter Dobbs, would complete his mysterious mission and join her in New York City. She wants him to help her find the young girl, who might be in real danger. What Judy does not know is that Peter himself is in danger. The next time she sees him, he is lying injured in a hospital bed. But by a weird combination of circumstance, what happens to Peter gives Judy her first clue to what might have happened to Clarissa. When Judy, with Peter''s help, finally learns what really did happen, she uncovers a mystery far more exciting than she could possibly have imagined. (Goodreads)

"Don''t look for it!" The voice startles Judy and Honey as it seems to come out of nowhere. The girls search the area but cannot discover the source of the voice. The strange voice is the first in a series of events drawing Judy into her latest mystery. Judy takes in Helen Riker and her children Penny and Paul as boarders at her home in Dry Brook Hollow. Penny speaks of a green doll but is scolded by her brother. What Judy does hear leads her to believe that some men stole some type of green doll from Mrs. Riker and that it has something to do with their Uncle Paul Riker. Judy and Horace go with the Rikers to visit Uncle Paul, but he has disappeared, his house has burned to the ground, and his entire collection of jade has been stolen. Judy has quite a mystery to solve. She must find the thieves and Uncle Paul and help Mrs. Riker through a difficult time. (Goodreads)

Judy Bolton and Irene Lang travel to New York City for a visit with Pauline Faulkner. While on their way into the city, the girls meet a handsome young author named Dale Meredith. The girls, especially Irene, become intrigued with the idea of meeting him again. By a stroke of luck, Judy secures a position in his agent''s office. When Dale''s agent, Emily Grimshaw, sees Irene for the first time, she reacts as though she has seen a ghost. Irene clearly looks just like someone from Emily Grimshaw''s past, but who? Complicating the situation, a stack of important papers is stolen, and soon after, Irene disappears as well. Judy, Pauline, and Dale are worried sick about Irene, and it is not until after a long and difficult search that they learn the truth. Irene Lang''s life reads like a fairy tale, and like a fairy princess, Irene, now the ''Golden Girl,'' receives an inheritance and captures the heart of Dale Meredith. (Goodreads)
