Von der hinteren Coverseite

Neoliberalization: States, Networks, Peoples uncovers the complexities and contingencies of neoliberalization. The book is an analysis of cultural and social as well as political economic expressions of neoliberalization. The collection shows that neoliberalism is not an inevitable monolithic force, but is socially produced in particular places.

The book documents empirically some of the complementary differences in how neoliberalization unfolds in different parts of the world. The empirical focus moves away from the ideological heartlands of neoliberalism in the US and the UK. The book presents a range of topics, from the politics of microfinance in Nepal to struggles over the restructuring of the Canadian welfare state, from the role of foreign investment promotion officials in East Africa and East Asia to the New Zealand experience of 'After Neoliberalism'. By exploring neoliberalism in various settings across the globe, the book excavates the variegated and relational geographies of neoliberalization.
