![REBOOTING POLICY ANALYSIS: STRENGTHENING THE F...
At the outset, the approach emphasized practical
argumentation, policy judgment, frame analysis, narrative
storytelling, and rhetorical analysis, among others. ... [In
the intervening years], the argumentative turn expanded
to include work on discourse analysis, deliberation, delib-
erative democracy, citizen juries, governance, expertise,
participatory inquiry, local and tacit knowledge, collabora-
tive planning, the uses and role of media, and interpretive
methods.

The postpositivist view is not without its critics. Lawrence Lynn
at Harvard's Kennedy School, for example, doesn't mince words
when he argues that postpositivists are wrong to assert that trad-
itional policy analysis is narrow and technocratic. He character-
izes postpositivism as an "esoteric, pedantic irrelevance" and de-
fends policy analysis, saying that contrary to the postpositivists'
claims, the classical models do account for ethical and normative
considerations, political arguments, and the voices of those who
lack political power (Lynn, 1999, p. 421).
Characterizing Lynn's attack on postpositivism as "savage,"
Dryzek (2002) fires back:
Even if analysis in the technocratic idiom stands no chance
of being acted upon in efficient and unchanged fashion,
the mere presence of technocratic policy analysis serves
to reinforce a discourse of disempowerment for those](https://cdn.masto.host/socialvspink/media_attachments/files/114/626/059/732/760/061/original/14740b73c14e8897.png)
