PROTOCOLS AS A TOOL FOR GOVERNMENT - ENRICO GAR...

This book provides a genealogy of the concept of 'protocol' in government. It examines the
functions that different protocols play in the contemporary world  and how they act as devices
which regulate delicate and strategic fields of politics and society. The book opens by
assessing the historical origins of the word 'protocol'  proposes a typology of protocols  and
highlights the three main actions of these devices: formalising  standardising  and certifying.
It then stresses the ways in which protocols are employed as governing devices  their use as
policy instruments  and their role within capitalism. The book concludes by analysing protocol
as a method for managing various aspects of social life. The politics of protocols and the
dilemmas they present  especially within crisis and emergency scenarios  are also discussed.
The book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy  sociology  political philosophy
and the theory of law.
