Authoritarian Neoliberalism

<p><em>Authoritarian Neoliberalism</em> explores how neoliberal forms of managing capitalism are challenging democratic governance at local national and international levels. </p><p>Identifying a spectrum of policies and practices that seek to reproduce neoliberalism and shield it from popular and democratic contestation contributors provide original case studies that investigate the legal-administrative social coercive and corporate dimensions of authoritarian neoliberalism across the global North and South. They detail the crisis-ridden intertwinement of authoritarian statecraft and neoliberal reforms and trace the transformation of key societal sites in capitalism (e.g. states households workplaces urban spaces) through uneven yet cumulative processes of neoliberalization. </p><p>Informed by innovative conceptual and methodological approaches <i>Authoritarian Neoliberalism</i> uncovers how inequalities of power are produced and reproduced in capitalist societies and highlights how alternatives to neoliberalism can be formulated and pursued. The book was originally published as a special issue of <i>Globalizations</i>.</p>
