The punctuated equilibrium model of public policy: explaining inertia in Singapore’s Mother Tongue policy

چکیده
This paper suggests an explicatory model for language policy reform (or lack thereof) at the level of state. is accomplished by assessing value ‘punctuated equilibrium’ public analysis (Howlett and Migone, Policy Society 30(1):53–62, 2011), which I argue can be strengthened a genealogical approach (Foucault, Social Science Information 10(2):7–30, 1971). Singapore’s Mother Tongue (MT) used as case illustration. There consensus amongst local linguists (e.g. Tan, World Englishes 33(3):319–339, 2014; Wee, Discourse: Studies in Cultural Politics Education 35(5):649–660, 2014) that current MT assigning official based on one’s race essentialist untenable light shift toward English increasing diversity through immigration. Using model, argued to part larger system policies maintain particular understanding racial equality unique brand multiracialism. The pressures immigration are insufficient exogenous shocks might lead changes policy. Instead, partisan interests maintaining this multiracialism serves entrench existing ethnolinguistic positions, contributing inertia reform.
