Global Governmentality - Governing International Spaces (Paperback): Wendy Larner, William Walters Global Governmentality - Governing International Spaces (Paperback)
Wendy Larner, William Walters
R1,417 Discovery Miles 14 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Assembling Neoliberalism - Expertise, Practices, Subjects (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Vaughan Higgins, Wendy Larner Assembling Neoliberalism - Expertise, Practices, Subjects (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Vaughan Higgins, Wendy Larner
R3,749 Discovery Miles 37 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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 Economies (Hardcover): Jane Pollard, Doctor Cheryl Mcewan, Doctor Alex Hughes Postcolonial Economies (Hardcover)
Jane Pollard, Doctor Cheryl Mcewan, Doctor Alex Hughes; Contributions by Dipesh Chakrabarty, Wendy Larner, …
R3,413 Discovery Miles 34 130 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
