It brings into contact a range of phenomena often considered in isolation, and subjects them to sustained critical-geographical exploration. The materials covered here cross worlds and scales - the Global South and the Global North; from the psychotherapist's couch to ethnodevelopment in Ecuador - and thereby reveal the entangled spaces, roles and subjectivities of professionals and activists under neoliberalism. It is essential reading for any critical scholar concerned about the extending and mutating reach of neoliberalism.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Philo, Professor of Geography, University of Glasgow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"If there is any lingering doubt that geographers need to think about how the local, the state, and the global are interconnected, it should be dispelled in this provocative and compelling collection, a fresh approach to the everywhere but elusive concept of neoliberalism. Challenging us to think about the broad ramifications for professionalism and local activism, these authors are determined to make a difference to the real lives of people engaged in working the spaces of neoliberalism as they re-write subjectivity, local knowlege, sexuality, democracy and political agency. We can definitely add another notch to our understanding of the world.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudrey Kobayashi, Professor of Geography, Queen's University, Ontario\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003eNina Laurie\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology at the University of Newcastle, UK.

It brings together original research from diverse contexts, including studies conducted in the Global South and the Global North, in order to enable key features of neoliberalisation to be understood more fully.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book brings into focus tensions and connections between activism and processes of professionalisation in relation to neoliberalism. It illuminates links between the context of neoliberal restructuring and the ways in which professionalisation involves processes of representation, negotiation and embodiment as activism feeds into “scaled up” policy-making. In doing so, it elaborates how the spaces of neoliberalism are “worked” in two related senses: namely how neoliberalisation incorporates, co-opts, constrains and depletes activism; and how professional subjects inhabit and sometimes subvert the opportunities neoliberalisation opens up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990506389733,"sku":"NP9781405138000","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405138000.jpg?v=1761788102","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/working-the-spaces-of-neoliberalism-isbn-9781405138000","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
