“…The plausibility of interpretive approaches will depend in part on our tackling such disagreements (see for example Bevir and Rhodes, 2006a). Equally, we should neither expect nor want theoretical unity among those pursuing interpretive approaches to British politics.…”

This paper has two aims. First, in contrast to the modernist empiricism of mainstream political science, we provide brief introductions to several interpretive approaches to the study of political science and British government and politics: idealism, social humanism, post-structuralism, and ideational institutionalism. Second, we identify the distinctive research agendas that arise from this family of approaches: namely, critique, decentring governance, ethnographic studies of British politics, and policy analysis as storytelling.

“…Rather, the authority to name or frame a problem and make it stick is a marker of power, and the struggle to challenge, refute and redefine meaning frames through discourse is the stuff of politics. 30 The discursive strategies that shape how a problem is defined in turn influences the types of solutions that may be sought by different stakeholders. For example, determining whether injection drug use should be approached by using a criminal justice lens or a public health lens has dogged policy related to Vancouver's Insite supervised injection site for several years.…”

Knowledge Translation (KT) is a growing movement in clinical and health services research, aimed to help make research more relevant and to move research into practice and policy. This paper examines the conventional model of policy change presented in KT and assesses its applicability for increasing the impact of urban health research on urban health policy. In general, KT conceptualizes research utilization in terms of the technical implementation of scientific findings, on the part of individual decision-makers who can be "targeted" for a KT intervention, in a context that is absent of political interests. However, complex urban health problems and interventions infrequently resemble this single decision, single decision-maker model posited by KT. In order to clarify the conditions under which urban health research is more likely or not to have an influence on public policy development, we propose to supplement the conventional model with three concepts drawn from the social science: policy stages, policy networks, and a discourse analysis approach for theorizing power in policy-making.

“…However, recent pieces of that ideational scholarship seem to problematize the structuralism of the Hallian approach, and lay a greater emphasis on agency (see e.g. Bevir -Rhodes 2006;Béland -Cox 2011;Hay 2011). This focus on agency is often coupled by a focus on the broader categories of discourse and ideas (see e.g.…”
