Commonly represented as politicisation, this depiction is superficial. Digging deeper, is there something about the official advice itself that makes it easy to ignore?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of lamenting a demise of expertise, Christiane Gerblinger asks: does the expert advice of policy officials feature characteristics that invite its government audience to overlook or misread it? To answer this question, Gerblinger critically examines official policy advice and finds the language of the rebuffed: government experts reluctant to disclose what they know so as to accommodate political circumstances. She argues that this language evades stable meaning and diminishes the democratic right of citizens to scrutinise the work of government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christiane Gerblinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Australian National University, Research Scho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.02w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760465414\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian National University, Research Scho","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43119664169075,"sku":"9.78176E+12","price":54.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_fe3133a9-091e-457b-94b6-c9e2b65b3735.jpg?v=1749294984","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/how-government-experts-self-sabotage-the-language-of-the-rebuffed-9781760465414","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
