How do politicians engage in blame-avoidance strategies? How can blaming backfire or boomerang? Are there situations in which politicians might want to be blamed? What is the relationship between avoiding blame and claiming credit? How do developments in relation to machine learning and algorithmic governance affect blame-based assumptions? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy focusing on the politics and governance of blame from a range of disciplines, perspectives, and standpoints this volume engages with all these questions and many more. Distinctive contributions include an emphasis on peacekeeping and public diplomacy, on source-credibility and anthropological explanations, on cultural bias and on expert opinions, on polarisation and (de)politicisation, and on trust and post-truth politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith contributions from the world's leading scholars and emerging research leaders, this volume not only develops the theoretical, disciplinary, empirical, and normative boundaries of blame-based analyses but it also identifies new research agendas and asks distinctive and original questions about the politics and governance of blame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Flinders, Gergana Dimova, Markus Hinterleitner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198896387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198896388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.50w x 2.10d","brand":"Matthew Flinders","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46140899066111,"sku":"9780198896388","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b2dc13d-d9d7-4e7c-b8b6-c9cd01a69d9e.jpg?v=1726597350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-and-governance-of-matthew-flinders-9780198896388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
