บทคัดย่อ

Nowadays, lawyers, economists, scientists and other ‘experts’ are put in charge of recommending and implementing policy decisions which seem less ‘political’ and distant from people. This is somehow seen as a strategy of the government to shift responsibility in public policy away from the state to unelected authorities, creating a ‘non-political’, less-conflicted policy. Such strategy can be understood as a part of ‘depoliticisation’.


Academically, depoliticisation is a broad and ambiguous concept which means different things to different people. This article aims to  review and elaborate how we can study depoliticisation through some major  contemporary frameworks. It also suggests that we cannot speak of  depoliticisation without   considering politicisation as they are dialectical. Hay’s model and related frameworks, which are counted as one the most systematic approach to the study of depoliticisation, are particularly  discussed. Besides, depoliticisation is a concept with many perspectives and dimensions. This article lastly calls for a look at depoliticisation as a  multi-level concept.
