Esmark examines the development since the 1980s of a new 'post-industrial' technocratic regime and its complicity in the populist backlash against politics and political elites that is visible today.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nThe new technocracy – a combination of network governance, risk management and performance management – has, the author argues, abandoned the overtly anti-democratic sentiments of its industrial predecessor and proclaimed a new partnership with democracy. The rise of populism, however, is a clear sign that the inherent problems of this partnership have been exposed and that technocracy posing as democracy will only serve to exacerbate existing problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anders Esmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280887853307,"sku":"9781529200874","price":127.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781529200874_89c45935-04ba-4767-b363-88f052704cd2.jpg?v=1772484522","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-new-technocracy-9781529200874","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
