In this paper, we examine the methodological issues pertaining to the study of the movement of policy. Informed by contemporary methodological thinking around social network analysis and the ethnographic notion of 'following the policy', we discuss the limitations of these approaches to adequately address presence in policy network analysis, and the problem of representing speed and intensity of policy mobility, even while these attempt to solve the problem of relationality and territoriality. We conclude that the methodologies of policy mobility are inexorably intertwined with the (constantly) changing phenomena under examination, and hence require what Lury and Wakeford describe as 'inventive methods'. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/DP150102098 | Source of Publication: | Critical Studies in Education, 58(2), p. 224-241 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1750-8495 1750-8487 |
