There are various ways to understand neo-liberalism, including through the economy, politics, education, and globalization. In Neoliberalism: Perspectives, History and Criticisms, these topics will ...play a role in articulating the much-debated issue of the widening gaps between the rich and the poor, the left and the right, democracy and autocracy, and the educated and left behind. The subsequent study uses data on neoliberal discourses and practices in higher educational institutions in Ghana in order to situate neoliberalism in a historical framework, as well as examine its perception in universities. The closing chapter explores the possibility of transitioning from isolated monoliths of oligopolies into an ecosystem of a modular economy that is based on small or medium, competitive, community friendly and flexible enterprises.
The US forced the EU to liberalize the Lomé Conventions, but the EU fired back with the EPAs, characterized by supposedly free market policies but which in reality yokes the ACP countries trade to ...the EU and excludes the US.
Este trabajo se propone abordar la teoría y práctica del neoliberalismo desde una perspectiva de Análisis Político del Discurso. En la primera parte, analiza los principales debates y controversias ...en torno a las características teóricas, ontológicas y axiológicas del neoliberalismo, y sobre sus aplicaciones a nivel estatal. En la segunda parte, examina los problemas metodológicos para investigar rigurosamente el fenómeno del neoliberalismo, que se vinculan con el carácter ambiguo y pragmático del cuerpo teórico neoliberal, las diversas etapas, ritmos, grados de profundidad e intensidades de neoliberalización estatal, y las tensiones y contradicciones entre la teoría neoliberal y sus aplicaciones históricas. En el tramo final, ofrece una conceptualización compleja y propone algunas operaciones analíticas para contribuir a investigar al neo-liberalismo y sus usos ónticos a nivel estatal, a través de las herramientas de la Teoría Política del Discurso.

This article provides an introduction to the special issue on post-neoliberalism. It does so by considering challenges to the neoliberal order that have come, post-financial crisis, from the ...political right. It looks closely at the relation of neoliberalism to conservatism, on one hand, and libertarianism, on the other, in order to address the threat posed to the neoliberal order by paleoconservatism, neoreactionary politics, ordonationalism, libertarian paternalism, and different forms of sovereignty and elite power. The final section of this introduction reflects on the challenge to the neoliberal orthodoxy posed by the current COVID-19 crisis. For while events of 2020–21 have facilitated new forms of privatization of many public services and goods, they also signal, potentially, a break from the neoliberal orthodoxies of the previous four decades, and, in particular, from their overriding concern for the market.
Como bien lo indica el título, la tesis que defiende el libro consiste en que el paper es el formato que domina la producción filosófica actual, coartando la libertad intrínseca a la naturaleza de ...este campo de estudio. Además, se ubica en un contexto mayor de análisis de la filosofía latinoamericana y chilena que ha venido haciendo el autor desde hace casi dos décadas. En este sentido, sitúa al paper como el dispositivo hegemónico de producción académica en la etapa neoliberal de la universidad, cuyo diagnóstico realizó el autor en forma exhaustiva en Cartografía crítica (2015). https://doi.org/10.32735/S0718-2201202100053963 Hans Frex Aguirre University of Texas at Austin (USA) hansfrex@gmail. com
This introduction to the special issue takes as its point of departure three centres of gravity that have shaped the study of neoliberalism but have also established barriers to further progress in ...these debates. By promoting an intersectional materialist research agenda which challenges extant ideational, modernist and empiricist tendencies in scholarship on neoliberalism, the essay contextualizes the special issue articles by outlining and clarifying key aspects of our understanding of authoritarian neoliberalism. In particular, we reflect on themes related to conceptualization and periodization, which are of importance for both this special issue but also for broader questions of knowledge production and praxis. Through doing so, we argue that there are two distinct yet connected trajectories within the research agenda on authoritarian neoliberalism: one which focuses on the intertwinement of authoritarian statisms and neoliberal reforms; and another which traces various lineages of transformation of key societal sites in capitalism (e.g. states, households, workplaces, urban spaces). Recognition of this spectrum of authoritarian neoliberal practices is important as it helps us uncover how inequalities of power are produced and reproduced in capitalist societies, and pushes us to consider more fully how other worlds can be made possible. Nevertheless, it is affirmed that we must remain open to what an emancipatory society might look like, and what struggles would be most appropriate, in and across various socio-spatial contexts.
This paper explores the role of neoliberal ideology in workplace practices and in work and organizational psychology (WOP) research. It analyses how neoliberal ideology manifests in these two domains ...by using a prominent framework from the field of political theory to understand ideology through three different logics: political, social and fantasmatic logics. We explore the main neoliberal assumptions underlying existing practices in the workplace as well as in WOP research, how individuals are gripped by such practices, and how the status quo is maintained. The paper analyses how individuals in the contemporary workplace are henceforth influenced by neoliberalism, and how this is reflected in the practices and dominant paradigms within WOP. In particular, we focus on three ways neoliberalism affects workplaces and individual experiences of the workplace: through instrumentality, individualism and competition. The paper finishes with practical recommendations for researchers and practitioners alike on how to devote more attention to the, often implicit, role of neoliberal ideology in their work and research. The discussion elaborates on how alternative paradigms in the workplace can be developed which address the downsides of neoliberalism.
