This is a theoretical and practical interrogation of how the
post-political has come to dominate governance. We are told that we
live in a 'post-ideological' era - that we have moved 'beyond Left
and Right' and that we are 'all in it together'. Democracy has been
reduced to the consensual administration of economic necessity. How
can we make sense of this form of depoliticisation? How does it
manifest itself in different spheres of social life? And in what
ways is it being challenged or subverted? Contributors to this
volume respond to these questions through a wide-ranging critical
engagement with the concept of the post-political developed by
Chantal Mouffe, Jacques Ranciere, Slavoj Zizek, Alain Badiou and
others. It gives an overview of the literature on the
post-political for people approaching the field for the first time:
its value and limits, its internal tensions and the possibility of
creative syntheses with other approaches. It empirically analyses
the post-political in relation to a diverse set of interconnected
themes. It works within 3 key spheres of post-politicisation: urban
governance, political ecology and international development. It
exposes the constitutive antagonisms and sites of resistance in
post-political governance. It assesses the reality and limitations
of emancipatory political projects.
