"Neoliberalism is a word that can easily come to meaneverything and so nothing. And yet the process and relations of'neoliberalization' are far more significant thaneither of these meanings. By focusing on places in whichneoliberalization is shaped and experienced, and on criticalanalyses of the processes and relations of which it is constituted,this book reveals its profound importance." Roger Lee, Queen Mary, University of London "This excellent collection of essays brings substance toprocesses of neoliberalization and their impacts in different partsof the globe, from Argentina to Canada, Nepal to China, and NewZealand to Japan. It illuminates, from diverse intellectual anddisciplinary traditions, the complexity and contingency ofneoliberalisms through a detailed analysis of economic andpolitical institutions, people, places, and networks involved intheir (re)production and dissemination. This needs to be understoodif we are to gain a better theorized account of concrete historicalrealities and gain leverage for alternative politicaldirections."
