Anthropology of Policy - Perspectives on Governance and Power (Hardcover)

This text argues that policy has become an increasingly central concept and instrument in the organization of contemporary societies, and that it now impinges on all areas of life so that it is virtually impossible to ignore or to escape its influence. Applying their fieldwork theme of "treating the familiar as strange", and by focusing on Europe and North America, the contributors provide anthropological insights into the new structures through which it is articulated. The text addresses both a practitioner and academic audience, it should find its readership in anthropology, development studies, public administration and management theory.
