dc.description.abstractAsk an ordinary Dutch citizen to characterize Dutch (socioeconomic) policy making with only a few words, and he or she will most likely answer: the polder model. Then ask what is meant with the polder model and he or she will probably refer to consultation and negotiations aimed at reaching consensus. However, finding the traces of, or the story behind, the origin of the model appears to be more difficult. This thesis thus aims to look at the influence of the story and the theory behind the polder model on the governmentality of governance in the Netherlands. This is done by examining Dutch newspapers that explicitly refer to the polder model during a period of political instability (i.e. 2009-2016).en_US
