Reviews

Higher education students and faculty who are interested in policy analysis would be well served by reading this book. The concepts of policy discourse analysis are often abstract and loaded with thick vocabulary. Allan makes the work as accessible as possible by providing a nice summary of important concepts and pairing it with specific examples. The book provides a remarkably rich reference source for policy discourse analysis, particularly as it relates to postmodern feminist scholarship. --Review of Higher Education
