{"product_id":"9780415321983","title":"Governing Europe: Discourse, Governmentality and European Integration","description":"\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.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46256248029425,"sku":"9780415321983","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9780415321983_p0.jpg?v=1764996415","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780415321983","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
