The Political Formulation of Policy Solutions: Arguments, Arenas, and Coalitions

Philippe Zittoun, Frank Fischer, and Nikolaos Zahariadis

Abstract

The book revisits the stage of formulating policy solutions by investigating the basic political dimensions inherent to this critical phase of the policy process. It focuses attention on how policymakers craft their policy proposals, match them with public problems, debate their feasibility to build coalitions and dispute their acceptability as serious contenders for government consideration. Based on international case studies, this book is an invitation to examine the uncertain and often indeterminate aspects of policymaking using qualitative analysis embedded in a political perspective.

Keywords: Policy, Politics, Formulation, Arguments, Coalitions, Arenas
