After the collapse of socialism these institutions were profoundly shaken--casualties, in the eyes of many observers, of market-oriented reforms associated with neoliberalism and the Washington Consensus. In Post-Soviet Social, Stephen Collier examines reform in Russia beyond the Washington Consensus. He turns attention from the noisy battles over stabilization and privatization during the 1990's to subsequent reforms that grapple with the mundane details of pipes, wires, bureaucratic routines, and budgetary formulas that made up the Soviet social state. Drawing on Michel Foucault's lectures from the late 1970's, Post-Soviet Social uses the Russian case to examine neoliberalism as a central form of political rationality in contemporary societies. The book's basic finding--that neoliberal reforms provide a justification for redistribution and social welfare, and may work to preserve the norms and forms of social modernity--lays the groundwork for a critical revision of conventional understandings of these topics.NeoliberalismRussia (Federation)BiopoliticsRussia (Federation)Post-communismEconomic aspectsRussia (Federation)Russia (Federation)Economic policy1991-Electronic books.Belaya Kalitva.Petrine absolutism.Rodniki.Russian absolutist state.Soviet Union.Soviet cities.Soviet city-building.Soviet planning.Soviet social modernity.Soviet social.Washington Consensus.Window of Opportunity.architectural avant-garde.budgetary austerity.budgetary reform.budgets.bureaucratic structures.centralized heating systems.city plan.city-building.collectivity.communal services reform.formal rationalization.government budget.industrial production.industrialization.infrastructural social modernity.infrastructure crisis.infrastructures.khoziaistvo.labor.liberalization.market economy.material structure.neoliberal reform.neoliberal reforms.neoliberalism.political projects.political rationality.privatization.production.redistribution.resource flow.settlement.social government.social modernity.social welfare.socialism.sociality.spatial development.spatial layout.stabilization.structural adjustment.substantive provisioning.urban development.urban modernity.urban populations.urban utilities.urbanist discussions.NeoliberalismBiopoliticsPost-communismEconomic aspects330.947Collier Stephen J964254MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459671803321Post-Soviet social2478390UNINA
