About this product
Product Information
Even before the global economic crisis of 2007-2009, the logic of discipline was under assault. Faced with many failed reform projects, advocates of discipline realized that they had underestimated the complexity of governmental change. Opponents of discipline emphasized the damage to democratic values that followed from the empowerment of new groups of technocrat-guardians. A sweeping account of neoliberal governmental restructuring across the world, The Logic of Discipline offers a powerful analysis of how this undemocratic model is unraveling in the face of a monumental--and ongoing--failure of the market.

Reviews
"This concise and provocative book has a readability that belies its dense subject matter. The evidence produced by Roberts to support his points is thorough and compelling, but rarely overdone."--Times Literary Supplement"The argument is intriguing, and can explain not only the movement toward autonomous central banks and legislation mandating budgetary restraint, but also the move toward management by contract (or New Public Management) and the effort to explicitly define performance measures for holding top managers accountable."--Public Administrations Review"Government reform is like the weather--everyone talks about it but few people really know how to change it. Until, that is, this terrific new book by Alasdair Roberts, which stokes our intellectual capital for tackling the big changes government needs and builds the case for how to make these reforms work."--Donald F. Kettl, Dean, University of Maryland School of Public Policy and author of The Next Government of the United States"In this provocative and wide-ranging book Alasdair Roberts uses the current economic crisis to reveal deep flaws in a wide range of reforms popular at the end of the twentieth century. His cases range from central banks to independent regulatory agencies to privately managed infrastructure projects. Throughout the world, reformers embraced the same 'logic of discipline.' All suffered from a naïve faith in institutions and expertise as solutions to theexcesses of political and popular control. Support for independent, apolitical bodies arose from a perceived gap between the demands of global capitalism and popular pressures. But Roberts shows in case aftercase that the logic of discipline did not work even on its own terms. The current crisis has brought democratic accountability back to the fore."--Susan Rose-Ackerman, Professor of Jurisprudence, Yale Law School, "This concise and provocative book has a readability that belies its dense subject matter.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
