As such, the book follows a research perspective based on a concept emphasizing that the core function of knowledge is related to the selection and integration of data and other information which give them substance. Taking an interpretive political science perspective to knowledge, the book overcomes particular deficiencies of policy learning concepts where the development of an understanding of 'reality' is thematized in a way that supposedly decrypts everyday processes through which individuals understand 'reality' and (re)orient their actions to intersubjective processes. To better understand these intersubjective processes, communicative mechanisms are worked through where knowledge claims are selected and integrated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of key interest to scholars and students of political science and policy analysis and more broadly, to sociology and social theory, geography, planning, philosophy, communication studies, and governance studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hubert Heinelt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367729113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367729110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 0.20d","brand":"Hubert Heinelt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086545498367,"sku":"9780367729110","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71c02e62-7266-4397-8c87-948c5b809216.jpg?v=1769095291","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/challenges-to-political-decision-making-hubert-heinelt-9780367729110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
