Title: Governing societies: political perspectives on domestic and international rule
Author/Creator: Dean, Mitchell
Institution: The University of Newcastle. Faculty of Education & Arts, School of Humanities and Social Science
Description: Today, many people in academia, politics and business, question the idea of being able to govern society. The nation state and sovereign government are displaced by globalization and individualization. The book offers a critical analysis of contemporary liberal approaches to governing societies both in domestic and international affairs. Governing Societies provides an overview of current perspectives and theories and examines recent transformations in techniques and rationalities of rule. It presents a new argument for the importance and transformation of sovereignty and powers of life and death and how they are integral to governing liberal-democratic societies.
