Free Download Stuart Hall, Doreen Massey, Michael Rustin, "After Neoliberalism?: The Kilburn Manifesto"
English | 2015 | pages: 225 | ISBN: 1910448109 | PDF | 2,3 mb
This book brings together in one volume contributions made to the public debate that has developed around the Kilburn Manifesto, a Soundings project that seeks to map the political, economic, social and cultural contours of neoliberalism. The manifesto opens with a framing statement and each chapter then analyses a specific issue or theme. The contributors call into question the neoliberal order itself, and find radical alternatives to its foundational assumptions. Contributors: Beatrix Campbell, John Clarke, Sally Davison, Stuart Hall, Ben Little, Doreen Massey, Janet Newman, Alan O'Shea, Platform, Michael Rustin, George Shire Stuart Hall, Doreen Massey and Michael Rustin founded Soundings in 1995. Doreen Massey is Emeritus Professor of Geography at the Open University. Michael Rustin is Professor of Sociology at the University of East London. Stuart Hall was Emeritus Professor at the Open University. 'The Kilburn Manifesto is a fitting testament to the contribution of Stuart Hall to British political life. It presents an incisive and powerful analysis of the current neoliberal moment making it essential reading for anyone interested not only in understanding the present but also in developing strategies for intervening into it.' Alan Finlayson, Professor of Political and Social Theory at The University of East Anglia

Urban Regeneration and Neoliberalism
Free Download Clare Kinsella, "Urban Regeneration and Neoliberalism "
English | ISBN: 0367861755 | 2020 | 228 pages | EPUB | 483 KB
This book explores the concept of 'home' in Liverpool over phases of 'regeneration' following the Second World War. Using qualitative research in the oral history tradition, it explores what the author conceptualises as 'forward-facing' regeneration in the period up to the 1980s, and neoliberal regeneration interventions that 'prioritise the past' from the 1980s to the present. The author examines how the shift towards city centre-focused redevelopment and 'event-led' initiatives has implications for the way residents make sense of their conceptualisations of 'home', and demonstrates how the shift in regeneration focus, discourse, and practice, away from Liverpool's neighbourhood districts and towards the city centre, has produced changes in the ways that residents identify with neighbourhoods and the city centre, with prominence being given to the latter. Employing Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of habitus and field as mechanisms for understanding different senses of home and shifts from localised views to globalised views, this book will appeal to those with interests in urban sociology, regeneration, geography, sociology, home cultures, and cities.

The Left Hand of Capital Neoliberalism and the Left in Chile
The Left Hand of Capital: Neoliberalism and the Left in Chile By Fernando Ignacio Leiva
2021 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 1438483619 | PDF | 4 MB
Original and comprehensive examination of Chilean political and economic development since the end of the Pinochet military regime in 1990.In The Left Hand of Capital, Fernando Ignacio Leiva provides a theoretically grounded analysis of the last thirty years of socioeconomic policies in Chile, beginning at the end of the Pinochet military regime in 1990. He skillfully probes how innovative center-left politico-economic initiatives transformed the state's relationships with the country's urban poor, indigenous peoples, workers, students, and business elites, thereby contributing to institutionalize, legitimize, and renew Chile's neoliberal system of domination. Leiva documents how such politics, progressive in appearance, were pivotal in forging new arts of domestication, "participatory" social control mechanisms, and commodified subjectivities. This landmark book guides us into a deeper awareness about the limitations of center-left politics, not only in Chile, but elsewhere in the Americas and Western Europe as well. At a time when far-right movements seem to be growing in the Global South, Europe, and the United States, this book offers valuable insights into the predicament of social democracy and how, as in Chile and in the context of global neoliberalism, it can become the "left hand of capital."

Neoliberalism, Critical Pedagogy and Education
Neoliberalism, Critical Pedagogy and Education By Ravi Kumar (editor)
2015 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 1138961388 | PDF | 3 MB
This volume examines the role of neoliberalism and its impact on education in South Asia. It contends that education is in a state of crisis across the world. This is reflected not only in the way the state has withdrawn to pave way for private capital but also in the manner in which knowledge and ways of understanding the world are being challenged by manipulation and adverse influences. A process of 'factoryisation' is underway as disciplining of human minds and redefinition of the purpose of human existence are being geared to fall in line with the needs of private capital. The book brings together incisive contributions from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal to explore newer possibilities to deal with the educational crisis, and looks at a range of critical themes in education: pedagogy, teacher-learner relationship, teacher education, the state of the university, and policy. Rich in content, critical and insightful, this book will be a valuable addition for scholars and researchers of education and education policy, sociology, public policy and South Asian Studies.

Public Relations and Neoliberalism The Language Practices of Knowledge Formation
Public Relations and Neoliberalism: The Language Practices of Knowledge Formation by Kristin Demetrious
English | October 4th, 2022 | ISBN: 0190678402, 0190678399 | 248 pages | True EPUB | 0.49 MB
Focusing on two of the most fraught and intractable public debates of the present time: human-induced climate change and the human rights of refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants and the stateless, this book raises critical questions about the role and relationship of public relations in weakening democratic political systems. It shows a clear, but often indirect, link between PR and a neoliberal agenda that has been vastly underestimated and oversimplified as "spin." This comes at a great cost for society.
