Synopsis
Neoliberalism remains a flashpoint for political contestation around the world. For decades now, neoliberalism has been in the process of becoming a globally ascendant default logic that prioritizes using economic rationality for all major decisions, in all sectors of society, at the collective level of state policymaking as well as the personal level of individual choice-making. Donald Trump's recent presidential victory has been interpreted both as a repudiation and as a validation of neoliberalism's hegemony. Rethinking Neoliberalism brings together theorists, social scientists, and public policy scholars to address neoliberalism as a governing ethic for our times. The chapters interrogate various dimensions of debates about neoliberalism while offering engaging empirical examples of neoliberalism's effects on social and urban policy in the USA, Europe, Russia, and elsewhere. Themes discussed include: Relationship between neoliberalism, the state, and civil society Neoliberalism and social policy to discipline citizens Urban policy and how neoliberalism reshapes urban governance What it will take politically to get beyond neoliberalism. Written in a clear and accessible style, Rethinking Neoliberalism is a sophisticated synthesis of theory and practice, making it a compelling read for students of Political Science, Public Policy, Sociology, Geography, Urban Planning, Social Work and related fields, at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

'This interdisciplinary collection of essays does indeed rethink neoliberalism. Through an interrogation of ideologies, policies and practices, the contributors challenge not only neoliberalism itself but also established forms of academic and activist critique. At a time when developing progressive political alternatives is ever more imperative, the thought provoking contributions to this book are essential reading.' -Wendy Larner, Provost and Professor of Human Geography, Victoria University of Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand 'This interdisciplinary collection of essays does indeed rethink neoliberalism.

'With Trump's election ensuring we are nowhere near the twilight of neoliberal capitalism, this interdisciplinary collection provides astute and compelling fodder for understanding and countering its theoretical premises, uneven spatialities, and modes of governance. Attentive to the varying grounds and effects of neoliberalism in social policy, subject formation, and everyday life, the essays in this volume offer timely and original insights into issues such as policing, neoliberal urbanism, "commanded individuality," and "critical counter-conduct" that recognize the stickiness and instability of neoliberalism and the possibilities for its undermining in multiple heres and nows.' - Cindi Katz, Professor of Geography in Environmental Psychology and Women's Studies, City University of New York, Graduate Center, USA
