{"product_id":"the-new-technocracy-anders-esmark-9781529200881","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 1529200881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529200881\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 Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Anders Esmark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217016836351,"sku":"9781529200881","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56d182ff-80b1-4f00-83aa-ea97fc1c4c4e.jpg?v=1728514031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-technocracy-anders-esmark-9781529200881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
