Using the\ntheoretical lens of Bowe et al's policy analysis triangle (1992), the political,\nconceptual and historical foundations of the strategy are analysed, and the processes\nof policy text production are explored. Theoretical recommendations are made on the\nneed to analyse more closely the discursive nature of policy-making.\nThe case study approach combines data collected from interviews with practitioners,\npolicymakers and researchers, with reflections upon the researcher's own experience\nand networking in the field. Combining the perspectives offered by this data with\ntools from Critical Discourse Analysis, the wide range of policy texts and press\nreleases that discursively construct the strategy are analysed. A model of the\nconstruction of the adult literacy strategy from its foundations in the Moser working\ngroup through to the first anniversary of the strategy in March 2002 is proposed which\ntranscends the partiality of perspectives available from within the strategy.\nSkills for Life provides an example of a strategy that is a government priority,\nreceiving substantial funding and cross-departmental support. Engaging a wide range\nof stakeholders, the strategy represents New Labour's commitment to modernising\ngovernment. As I will argue in this thesis, the strategy is under-researched and\nopportunistic, driven more by wider policy concerns relating to human capital and\nsocial inclusion than by evidence of need. The emergence and amplification of these\nfindings through this thesis validates the need to analyse the construction of the\nproblem to which the policy responds."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10020491> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/date> "2005" . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/document/564749> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Document> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-f7a1daa52fb5147cdb3e13be8766ab00> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Organization> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-f7a1daa52fb5147cdb3e13be8766ab00> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "Institute of Education, University of London"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10020491> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/issuer> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/org/ext-f7a1daa52fb5147cdb3e13be8766ab00> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10020491> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/status/unpublished> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10020491> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-622792ad78a9f4fdcd002e07e85a23fa> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10020491> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/authorList> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10020491#authors> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10020491#authors> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_1> <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-622792ad78a9f4fdcd002e07e85a23fa> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-622792ad78a9f4fdcd002e07e85a23fa> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-622792ad78a9f4fdcd002e07e85a23fa> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName> "Zoe Louise."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-622792ad78a9f4fdcd002e07e85a23fa> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/familyName> "Fowler"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> . <https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/person/ext-622792ad78a9f4fdcd002e07e85a23fa> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> "Zoe Louise.
