• TITLE: Why Study Problematizations? Making Politics Visible

  AUTHORS: Carol Bacchi

  KEYWORDS: Problematization; Poststructuralism; Foucault; Public Policy; Comparative Politics; Ethics

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Political Science, Vol.2 No.1, April 26, 2012

  ABSTRACT: This paper introduces the theoretical concept, problematization, as it is developed in Foucauldian-inspired poststructural analysis. The objective is two-fold: first, to show how a study of problematizations politicizes taken-for-granted “truths”; and second, to illustrate how this analytic approach opens up novel ways of approaching the study of public policy, politics and comparative politics. The study of problematizations, it suggests, directs attention to the heterogenous strategic relations – the politics – that shape lives. It simultaneously alerts researchers to their unavoidable participation in these relations, opening up a much-needed conversation about the role of theory in politics.
