This edited volume demonstrates some of the potential contributions of discourse analytic
approaches to the study of education policy and its implementation within particular policy
contexts. Contributing authors provide a range of perspectives examining education policy
using both micro-analytic traditions and more macro-analytic traditions. With examples of
research focused on various stages of the policy process from agenda-setting and policy-making
to implementation and media representations this volume will appeal to scholars engaged in
research at the intersection of education policy and discourse analysis and to students with
specific interests in education policy and qualitative research methods.
