{"product_id":"governing-europe-3","title":"Governing Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoverning Europe\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book to systematically link Michel Foucault's hypotheses on power and 'governmentality' with the study of European integration. Through a series of empirical encounters that spans the fifty-year history of European integration, it explores both the diverse political dreams that have framed means and ends of integration and the political technologies that have made 'Europe' a calculable, administrable domain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book illustrates how a genealogy of European integration differs from conventional approaches. By suspending the assumption that we already know what\/where Europe is, it opens a space for analysis where we can ask: how did Europe come to be governed as this and not that? The themes covered by this book include: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* the different constructions of Europe within discourses of modernization, democratization, insecurity and 'governance'\u003cbr\u003e* the imprint of modernism, liberalism, ordoliberalism, neoliberalism and crime on the identity of the European Community\/European Union\u003cbr\u003e* the historical relationship between European government and specific technologies of power, technologies as diverse as planning, price control, transparency and benchmarking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243944595800,"sku":"9780415321983","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415321983.jpg?v=1777708862","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/governing-europe-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
