DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues \n\nThe Global Political Economy research clu
 ster invite you to the following seminar\, which takes place at 3pm on W
 ednesday 9th March in 4.211 University Place:\n\nThe Managerial Lineages
  of Neoliberalism\n\nSamuel Knafo (University of Sussex)\n\nManagerialis
 m is often depicted as a key practice of neoliberalism. Yet\, beyond thi
 s general acknowledgement\, scholars have written very little on the act
 ual relationship between the two. Instead managerial practices are subsu
 med under a functional reading of neoliberalism. Here\, managerial techn
 ologies of governance are understood as a straightforward extension of n
 eoliberal theory – the means through which to pursue the self-proclaimed
  neoliberal goal of promoting market competition.\nThis paper challenges
  this perspective by emphasising that scholars of neoliberalism too ofte
 n conflate two very different social lineages: the trajectory of neolibe
 ral theory which\, runs through the Mont Pélerin Society\; and the devel
 opment of managerial technologies of governance\, which trace back to th
 e 1950s and the pivotal role of the RAND corporation. By making this epi
 stemological shift\, it argues instead for the need to analyse manageria
 lism on its own terms\, in order to specify both its key features\, and 
 the way in which it constituted a paradigmatic shift in governance.\n\n\
 nAbout Samuel Knafo\n\nSamuel Knafo has worked extensively on liberal fi
 nancial governance\, most notably writing a book entitled the Making of 
 Modern Finance which analyses the rise of liberal financial governance i
 n Britain and which received the 2014 IPEG prize for best book in intern
 ational political economy. His main project now is to develop a social h
 istory of financialisation tracing the political and social struggles ar
 ound key financial developments in the United State which  radically tra
 nsformed the global financial system. Parallel to this\, he is writing o
 n critical methodology developing a form of radical historicism\,  as a 
 historically driven framework of analysis which places the emphasis on a
 gents and social relations.\n\n\n\nDr Greig Charnock | Senior Lecturer i
