Description
Understanding public policy in an era of post-truth requires more than just factual information. This Element explores how social meanings attach to facts in the political world, and how this affects policy debates.
The analysis examines policy arguments related to climate change and coronavirus denial, highlighting the importance of considering the interpretive perspective in understanding post-truth. By combining an examination of facts with a policy-analytic approach, readers can gain a fuller understanding of this complex phenomenon.
