Globalization and governmentality

Justin Rosenberg gives a very interesting account of the conditions that produce the globalization literature and provides a compelling critique of the theory itself. I want to supplement this with an account of the social conditions that sustain such views. In short, my project is to relate globalization theory to contemporary forms of governmentality and to neo-liberalism in particular. Ultimately this leads me to slightly different conclusions. That is, not the death of globalization theory, but the way it interacts with and is sustained by contemporary practices, techniques and technologies of governmentality. © 2006 Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
