Epistemic Governance as a Methodological Toolkit. 330 $aThis book argues that modern governance is performed by actors who seek social change epistemically, by drawing on widespread, public views of reality. Agents of change such as parliamentarians or social movement activists will assess and affect what they believe to be people?s conceptions of what is possible, rational, and desirable. This often means that these key authority figures will invest in credible knowledge production, as well as appeal to individual and group identifications, emotions, and values. Alasuutari and Qadir show how this epistemic governance works in three important arenas of social change: parliaments, which debate laws that constitute the bulk of reforms; international organizations that circulate global norms; and social movements and NGOs. Through their analysis, the authors? detailed, innovative methodology for discourse analysis indicates the utility of epistemic governance as a new paradigm for research into global social change. This book will be of use to students in upper level degree programs who want to design empirical research into social change as well as researchers in sociology, political science and public policy. 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aSocial sciences?Philosophy 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33000 606 $aSocial Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22140 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aGovernance and Government$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aSocial sciences?Philosophy. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aSocial Theory. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a320.6 676 $a320.601 700 $aAlasuutari$b Pertti$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01050200 702 $aQadir$b Ali$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341852003321 996 $aEpistemic Governance$92507414 997 $aUNINA
