ISBN: 0415311381 ISBN-13: 9780415311380 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $152.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 2004 Annotation: 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. br br Combining historical and contemporary outlooks, this book offers innovative interdisciplinary explorations of such issues as international peacekeeping, refugees, political rationalities of security and neo-liberalism, the spatiality of globalization, the genealogy of development, and the ethical governance of corporate activity. br br At a time when many of the geopolitical and economic certainties which framed international affairs are in flux, i Global Governmentality /i 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. |
