China's post-1978 transition from 'socialist plan' to 'market socialism' has also been accompanied by significant shifts in how the practice and objects of government are understood and acted upon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChina's Governmentalities\u003c\/em\u003e outlines the nature of these shifts, and contributes to emerging studies of governmentality in non-western and non-liberal settings, by showing how neoliberal discourses on governance, development, education, the environment, community, religion, and sexual health, have been raised in other contexts. In doing so, it opens discussions of governmentality to 'other worlds' and the glocal politics of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will appeal to scholars from a wide range of disciplines interested in the work of Michel Foucault, neo-liberal strategies of governance, and governmental rationalities in contemporary China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Jeffreys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041554744X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415547444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.35w x 0.64d","brand":"Elaine Jeffreys","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064931528959,"sku":"9780415547444","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61290db5-a0d5-4705-bf54-30db116a5b9c.jpg?v=1768672002","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinas-governmentalities-elaine-jeffreys-9780415547444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
