Purchase options and add-ons

Renowned social and political theorist Bob Jessop explores the idea of civil society as a mode of governance in this bold challenge to current thinking. Developing theories of governance failure and metagovernance, the book analyses the limits and failures of economic and social policy in various styles of governance. Reviewing the principles of self-emancipation and self-responsibilisation it considers the struggle to integrate civil society into governance, and the power of social networks and solidarity within civil society. With case studies of mobilisations to tackle economic and social problems, this is a comprehensive review of the factors that influence their success and identifies lessons for future social innovation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“…a masterpiece…. Two thirds of the book are a fascinating academic exercise of dissecting the governance of complexity and the complexity of governance, in theory and in praxis…” Maecenata Stiftung

“Admirable for its scope and rigour… a great book for specialists.” Voluntas

“Bob Jessop is a living classic in the field of critical governance studies.” Voluntas

Review

“It turns out that Bob Jessop is just as good at putting civil society in its right and proper place as he is at putting the state and capitalist economies in theirs. That is no mean feat. Deeply impressive and required reading.” Colin Hay, Sciences Po, Paris
