The Idea of Governance and the Spirit of Chinese Neoliberalism, Paperback / softback Book

The Idea of Governance and the Spirit of Chinese Neoliberalism Paperback / softback

Part of the Governing China in the 21st Century series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book offers a critical assessment of governance ideas in the context of Chinese neoliberalism.

It argues that the Chinese version of governance has emerged as an important discursive practice in the articulation of the neoliberal spirit of the national reform agenda.

The book first examines the institutional and intellectual background of governance ideas, capturing the key features of neoliberalization in transitional China.

The main body of investigation is an interpretive analysis of governance in terms of its normative principles and technical skills, which effectively package the mature neoliberal vision and reality so that it indicates the dominant ruling structure of Chinese neoliberalism.

The subsequent analysis presents a genealogical review of governance discourse and traces its adaptation to local neoliberal experiments.

The book concludes with reflections on possible ways of critical engagement with governance ideas and with the intellectual aspects of neoliberalism.
