Abstract
Most policy analyses, especially those on land reform, focus on issues and data that are within the official policy scope. This ‘policy scope‐centered’ approach has led to only partial understanding of policy choices, implementation and outcomes. A more complete, and so more powerful, analysis requires the inclusion of issues and data that are excluded from the policy scope. This paper is a preliminary inquiry into the inclusion–exclusion question in the official scope of Philippine land reform policy. It is an initial attempt to raise new questions for further research, and suggests a different strategy for approaching land reform data. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
