OverviewAn authoritative, comprehensive analysis of the post-industrial technocratic regime, which has reformed public administration in advanced liberal democracies for the last thirty years. The rise of populist parties and movements across the Western hemisphere and their contempt for 'experts' has shocked the establishment. This book examines how the 'post-industrial' technocratic regime of the 1980s - of managerialism, depoliticisation and the politics of expertise - sowed the seeds for the backlash against the political elites that is visible today. Populism, Esmark augues, is a sign that the technocratic bluff has finally been called and that technocracy posing as democracy will only serve to exasperate existing problems. This book sets a new benchmark for studies of technocracy, showing that a solution to the challenge of populism will depend as much on a technocratic retreat as democratic innovation.
