The New Technocracy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The rise of populist parties and movements across the Western hemisphere and their contempt for 'experts' has shocked the establishment. This book examines how the 'post-industrial' technocratic regime of the 1980's - of managerialism, depoliticisation and the politics of expertise - sowed the seeds for the backlash against the political elites that is visible today. Populism, Esmark augues, is a sign that the technocratic bluff has finally been called and that technocracy posing as democracy will only serve to exasperate existing problems. This book sets a new benchmark for studies of technocracy, showing that a solution to the challenge of populism will depend as much on a technocratic retreat as democratic innovation.
