Foucault's thoughts on governmentality have made a significant
impact on the studies of power and governance in modern societies.
However, most studies of governmentality confine themselves to the
exploration of power within nation-states. Global Governmentality
extends Foucault's political thought towards international studies,
exploring the governance of the global, the international, the
regional and many other extra-domestic spaces. Combining historical
and contemporary outlooks, this book offers innovative
interdisciplinary explorations of such issues as international
peacekeeping, refugees, political rationalities of security and
neoliberalism, the spatiality of globalization, the genealogy of
development, and the ethical governance of corporate activity. At a
time when many of the geopolitical and economic certainties which
framed international affairs are in flux, Global Governmentality is
suggestive of new territories and lines for international analysis.
It will be of interest to students and researchers of both
governmentality and international studies.

This book examines how neoliberalism is constituted from multiple,
diverse elements; how these elements are brought together and made
to cohere; and the challenges, contestations, and consequences of
such. Informed by assemblage thinking, the collection builds on
research that emphasizes the forms of experimentation, adaptation,
and mutation through which neoliberalism is enacted and rendered
workable across different spaces. Contributors provide original
case studies on topics such as democratic administration, carbon
markets, the sharing economy, behavioral economics, disease
management, free trade, and youth volunteering. They interrogate
the forms of expertise through which neoliberalism is rendered
knowable; the diverse socio-technical practices that make
neoliberalism governable; and the practices, effects, and tensions
involved in the assembling of neoliberal subjects.

Postcolonial approaches to understanding economies are of
increasing academic and political significance as questions about
the nature of globalization, transnational flows of capital and
workers and the making and re-making of territorial borders assume
center stage in debates about contemporary economies and policy.
Despite the growing academic and political urgency in understanding
how "other" cultures encounter "the west," economics-oriented
approaches within social sciences (e.g., Development Economics,
Economic Geography, and the discipline of Economics itself) have
been slow to engage with the ideas and challenges posed by
postcolonial critiques. In turn, postcolonial approaches have been
criticized for their simplistic treatment of "the economic" and for
not engaging with existing economic analyses of poverty and wealth
creation. Utilizing examples drawn from everywhere from India to
Latin America, "Postcolonial Economies" breaks new ground in
providing a space for nascent debates about postcolonialism and its
treatment of "the economic," bringing together scholars in a range
of disciplines, including Geography, Economics, Development
Studies, History and Women's Studies.
