Description:
This comprehensive volume presents critical scholarship, analysing governance practices in diverse jurisdictions in Europe and North America, at multiple scales and in relation to several different arenas of policy and practice.
Review Quotes:
This collection offers an exciting feminist challenge to mainstream political science. Drawing on feminist and post-structuralist readings of governance, the authors engage with questions of post-politics, governmentality, agency, embodiment, emotion and affect. In doing so they reshape the terrain of politics, and broaden the spaces and practices under consideration. By offering new conceptual and methodological approaches they demonstrate the value of a feminist poststructuralist political science.
