Overview
In an era marked by contested truths, fragmented publics, and volatile political discourse, Narratology for Policymakers advances a compelling proposition: narrative is not peripheral to policymaking-it is foundational. This work repositions storytelling as a structural element of governance, alongside law, institutions, and economics.Bridging theoretical inquiry with applied case studies, the book interrogates how narratives shape public perception, legitimize authority, and mobilize collective action. It examines global policy successes and failures through the lens of narrative strategy-highlighting the ethical, cultural, and strategic dimensions of storytelling in public life.Drawing on Amir Jahangir's engagements with national governments, multilateral institutions, and academic platforms such as Harvard, Stanford, NDU Islamabad and the World Economic Forum, this volume offers a praxis-oriented framework for policymakers, scholars, and communicators. It equips readers with conceptual tools and methodologies to design narratives that are authentic, values-driven, and resilient in complex governance environments.
