FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book explores how changes that occurred around 1989 shaped the study of the social sciences, and scrutinizes the impact of the paradigm of neoliberalism in different disciplinary fields. The contributors examine the ways in which capitalism has transmuted into a seemingly unquestionable, triumphant framework that globally articulates economics with epistemology and social ontology. The volume also investigates how new narratives of capitalism are being developed by social scientists in order to better understand capitalisms ramifications in various domains of knowledge. At its heart, Beyond Neoliberalism seeks to unpack and disaggregate neoliberalism, and to take readers beyond the analytical limitations that a traditional framework of neoliberalism entails.This book is a result of discussions at and support from the Irmgard Coninx Fundation.

Promotional "This will prove to be a landmark volume not only for the historical and political sociology of post-communist Europe but for wider academic understanding of neoliberal capitalism. The transmutation of global capitalism is provocatively assessed by a host of leading voices that has been assembled here to reflect on the local instances of a networked crisis. That novel predicament demands a new conceptual vocabulary and a new approach to the methods of social science. This rich and stimulating book offers a massive contribution to both." (Paul Gilroy, Kings College, London, England) "The authors of the present volume -- an impressive array of thinkers from various disciplines and continents -- assess the significance of 1989 on social theory and challenge, [notably] thanks to [vivid] ethnographic studies, the concepts we, as social scientists and citizens, use to describe the world we live in. Seldom has ethnography been put to such a stimulating contribution." (Barbara Theriault, Universite de Montreal, Canada) "This provocative collection examines the complex and contradictory effects of the end of the Cold War on social theory, scholarship, and academic discourse in a variety of fields. Some of the contributions also analyze todays neoliberal capitalism, and forms of resistance to it, and dare to imagine social life beyond neoliberalism. This volume will interest anyone interested in the social and intellectual legacies of "1989" and the nature of the present era."
