The Analysis Of Design Or The Design Of Analysis?

Abstract

The policy sciences have advanced in the past by introspection, and there appears to be a need for a return to such self‐conscious examination of the field of inquiry. A design orientation offers a useful framework for such an examination. It requires reconsideration of some of the fundamental premises of policy inquiry. This article explores what impact design might have on the conventional process framework and then proceeds to discuss the development of a design perspective.
