Opis

This book introduces the methodology of critical discourse analysis (CDA) to the study of participatory planning. Illustrated by two case studies from Australia, it demonstrates the value of CDA to this field of research and develops specific techniques and conceptual tools for applying the methodology, while shedding light on the dynamics of interaction between 'stakeholders' and bureaucracies.

Recenzje

'Elegantly written and argued, Diana MacCallum's new work on participatory planning is essential reading for those wishing to understand the cultural dynamics of bureaucratic process in an age of "open government". Her analytical contributions to Applied Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis will no doubt be invaluable to future research.' Philip Graham, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
