Interpretive research challenges mainstream positivism and scientism in the name of a methodological pluralism that is sensitive to meaning, historical and social context, and the importance of human subjectivity. Interpretive Policy Analysis entails diverse methodological paths aiming to explain current challenges of politics. Following successful conferences in Birmingham (2006), Amsterdam (2007), Essex (2008) and Kassel (2009), the 5th Conference on Interpretive Policy Analysis in Grenoble will extend the complex investigation of meaning and politics by exploring, in particular, current challenges for discursive politics and policy practices.
