Book review : Facts, values and the policy world by Phil Ryan

Ginsburg, Norman (2024) Book review : Facts, values and the policy world by Phil Ryan. Critical Social Policy. ISSN 1461-703X

Abstract

The distinction between facts and values is a methodological conundrum which faces all social scientists, not least critical social policy analysts. It concerns the need for evidence and rational argument to support a critical perspective on a social issue. So, an author submitting an article to CSP is expected to embrace explicitly some element of the ‘values’ associated with the journal. This entails focus on particular social injustices and oppressions and the role of policy in furthering and/or challenging these.
