Summary note

Ideas and discourse are essential to politics as well as to political analysis. In 'The Power of Ideas and Discourse in Political Analysis', Vivien A. Schmidt provides a sweeping appraisal of the many ways in which scholars explain how ideas and discourse are used both by policymakers and by everyday citizens to understand the world, to influence others, and to mobilize for collective action. In so doing, she also presents the many facets of her highly original approach to the power of ideas and discourse, developed over the past quarter century under the mantle of discursive institutionalism. The book covers the great variety of approaches to ideas and discourse across subfields in political science and beyond.
