COMPARING STRATEGIES OF (DE)POLITICISATION IN E...

This book investigates the extent to which depoliticisation strategies  used to disguise the
political character of decision-making  have become the established mode of governance within
societies. Increasingly  commentators suggest that the dominance of depoliticisation is leading
to a crisis of representative democracy or even the end of politics  but is this really true?
This book examines the circumstances under which depoliticisation techniques can be challenged
whether such resistance is successful and how we might understand this process. It addresses
these questions by adopting a novel comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Scholars
from a range of European countries scrutinise the contingent nature of depoliticisation through
a collection of case studies  including: economic policy  transport  the environment  housing 
urban politics  and government corruption. The book will be appeal to academics and students
across the fields of politics  sociology  urban geography  philosophy and public policy.
