Drawing on global research, this book argues that processes of
professionalization form an integral part of the production of
neoliberal spaces, with profound implications for political
activism. It brings together original research from diverse
contexts, including studies conducted in the Global South and the
Global North, in order to enable key features of neoliberalisation
to be understood more fully.
The book brings into focus tensions and connections between
activism and processes of professionalisation in relation to
neoliberalism. It illuminates links between the context of
neoliberal restructuring and the ways in which professionalisation
involves processes of representation, negotiation and embodiment as
activism feeds into "scaled up" policy-making. In doing so, it
elaborates how the spaces of neoliberalism are "worked" in two
related senses: namely how neoliberalisation incorporates, co-opts,
constrains and depletes activism; and how professional subjects
inhabit and sometimes subvert the opportunities neoliberalisation
opens up.
