Summary:

This e-book brings together a variety of papers concerning organizations and organizing that are primarily discursive in emphasis, but which nevertheless attempt to address the intersection and interpenetration of discourse with aspects of policy and practice. In doing so, they make a collective contribution to understanding the nature and complexity of the relationship between these intertwined and mutually implicated domains of social activity.
