The Post-Political and Its Discontents

Spaces of Depoliticisation, Spectres of Radical Politics

Herausgeber: Wilson, Japhy; Swyngedouw, Erik

Beschreibung

We are told that we live in a post ideological era; that we have moved 'beyond Left and Right'; and that we are 'all in it together'. Democracy has been reduced to the consensual administration of economic necessity. How can we make sense of this form of depoliticisation? This title examines how the post political has come to dominate governance.
