Abstract
This chapter presents the policy design framework which provided the theoretical background of our research. It builds on a typology of the foreground theories of policy design, based on different philosophical and scientific ontologies (Jackson, The conduct of inquiry in international relations: Philosophy of science and its implications for the study of world politics. (London: Routledge), 2016). Section 2 compares these four methodologies (coined neo-positivism, realism, analyticism and reflexivism) and their implications for the research on policy design. Section 3 explains how the four models that we coin “instrumentation”, “institutionalization”, “framing” and “emancipation” are related both to these methodologies and to middle-range theories of the policy design.
