Abstract
In this introductory chapter, I attempt to delineate a tentative theoretical framework for the analysis of the discursive background of global policies, based on three eminent strands of research: ideational approaches to policy analysis, the sociology of knowledge approach to discourse (SKAD) and world society theory. These three strands of research will not only serve as the basis of my analytical approach, but also provide hypotheses and guiding questions regarding the career of cash transfers that will guide my empirical analysis.
