Abstract
Politics and policies develop and are (re) produced in a constant struggle between competing notions or understandings of identity, issues and society overall (Dryzek 2005), which taken together form a political discourse. Political actors and their political discourses interact in public debates and public spaces and (together with other actors) shape common understandings in a process that can be characterised as intersubjective construction of meaning (Christiansen, Jørgensen and Wiener 1999), which in turn predetermines the options available for political action.
