Short summary
Through a case study of Toronto's 2011 Core Service Review, this paper sets out to examine the textually mediated practices through which policy knowledge is generated and contested. It highlights how management consultants make use of evaluative texts in lifting out ideas from other places and folding them into the policy-making process. However, while these texts are presented as a pure lens of cost savings, they are often built on tenuous connections that can be publicly disassembled.
