{"product_id":"the-new-technocracy-anders-esmark-9781529200874","title":"The New Technocracy","description":"Setting a new benchmark for studies of technocracy, this book shows that a solution to the challenge of populism will depend as much on a technocratic retreat as democratic innovation. Esmark examines the development since the 1980s of a new 'post-industrial' technocratic regime and its complicity in the populist backlash against politics and political elites that is visible today. The new technocracy - a combination of network governance, risk management and performance management - has, the author argues, abandoned the overtly anti-democratic sentiments of its industrial predecessor and proclaimed a new partnership with democracy. The rise of populism, however, is a clear sign that the inherent problems of this partnership have been exposed and that technocracy posing as democracy will only serve to exacerbate existing problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anders Esmark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529200873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529200874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Anders Esmark","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124541092095,"sku":"9781529200874","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0289eab0-4f26-4117-bf81-02daaf2f8aa8.jpg?v=1687437388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-technocracy-anders-esmark-9781529200874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
