ABSTRACT

Since the interdisciplinarity in policy studies has widely focused on the instrumental approach for solving out policy problems and issues, the policy community has charged criticism to the disciplinary identity crisis deprived from the policy theories. Thus on the assumption that the interdisciplinary policy studies be conducted by the conceptual interdisciplinary approach for developing or creating policy theories rather than simple use and applications borrowed from other branches of social sciences and professions, this paper tried to develop basic and primary interdisciplinary policy theories by employing critical reviewing on the interdisciplinary literatures founded in policy studies, public administration, political science, developmental studies, and interdisciplinarity studies itself, and by surveying this issue to American policy scholars(eight of thirty two) who have been specialized in the theoretical understandings of policy science. The findings and reasoned conclusions of this paper included that the interdisciplinary studies for orienting or creating policy theories have been a debatable as well as an unwelcoming theme in policy science. But some theoretical fields such as democracy and policy studies, politics and policy, policy philosophy, policy balancing, and policy leadership were marked by American policy scientists as the primary and prominent subjects in the studies of interdisciplinarity of policy. Finally, with evolving out more researches and discussions on these interdisciplinary topics in the policy community, these interdisciplinary policy theories have more possibilities to the building of basic and central policy theories.
