Interpretacijska policy analiza i deliberacijska demokracija: treba li politizirati analizu?
INTERPRETIVE POLICY ANALYSIS AND DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY: SHOULD WE POLITICIZE ANALYSIS?

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the research tradition of interpretive policy analysis. After the academic context from which it can be understood is sketched and important theoretical influences which shape its theoretical field are roughly identified, arguments from the works of its main authors, establishing interpretive policy analysis as a paradigm for public policy research, are presented. With the help of categories of ontology, epistemology and methodology, its main characteristics are then schematized. In the end, the question from the article’s heading is answered. It is concluded that equating interpretive policy analysis with the political program of deliberative democracy is not necessary and probably not advisable as well.
