{"product_id":"fast-policy-jamie-peck-9780816677313","title":"Fast Policy: Experimental Statecraft at the Thresholds of Neoliberalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe inhabit a perpetually accelerating and increasingly interconnected world, with new ideas, fads, and fashions moving at social-media speed. New policy ideas, especially \"ideas that work,\" are now able to find not only a worldwide audience but also transnational salience in remarkably short order. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFast Policy\u003c\/i\u003e is the first systematic treatment of this phenomenon, one that compares processes of policy development across two rapidly moving fields that emerged in the Global South and have quickly been adopted worldwide⎯conditional cash transfers (a social policy program that conditions payments on behavioral compliance) and participatory budgeting (a form of citizen-centric urban governance). Jamie Peck and Nik Theodore critically analyze the growing transnational connectivity between policymaking arenas and modes of policy development, assessing the implications of these developments for contemporary policymaking. Emphasizing that policy models do not simply travel intact from sites of invention to sites of emulation, they problematize fast policy as a phenomenon that is real and consequential yet prone to misrepresentation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on fieldwork conducted across six continents and in fifteen countries, \u003ci\u003eFast Policy\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource in providing an extended theoretical discussion of policy mobility and in presenting a methodology for ethnographic research on global social policy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamie Peck, Nik Theodore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081667731X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816677313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2016","brand":"Jamie Peck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926488482047,"sku":"9780816677313","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_aa3e14cb-74c3-4a1d-9393-0d56a22d5cff.jpg?v=1681083352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fast-policy-jamie-peck-9780816677313","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
