Hybrid Rule and State Formation
Neoliberalism has been the reigning ideology of our era. For the past four decades, almost every real-world event of any consequence has been traced to the supposedly omnipresent influence of neoliberalism. Instead, this book argues that state power across the world has actually grown in scope and reach.
The authors in this volume contest the view that the past four decades have been marked by the diminution of the state in the face of neoliberalism. They argue instead that we are witnessing a new phase of state formation, which revolves around hybrid rulethat is, a more expansive form of state formation that works through privatization and seeks pacification and depoliticization as instrumental to enhancing state power. Contributors argue that the process of hybridization, and hybrid rule point towards a convergence on a more authoritarian capitalist regime type, possibly, but not necessarily, more closely aligned with the Beijing modelone towards which even the United States, with its penchant for surveillance and discipline, appears to be moving.
This volume sheds new light on evolving public-private relations, and the changing nature of power and political authority in the 21st century and will be of interest to students and scholars of IPE, international relations and political theory.

This series, published in association with the Review of International Political Economy, provides a forum for current and interdisciplinary debates in international political economy. The series aims to advance understanding of the key issues in the global political economy, and to present innovative analyses of emerging topics. The titles in the series focus on three broad themes:
the structures, processes and actors of contemporary global transformations
the changing forms taken by governance, at scales from the local and everyday to the global and systemic
the inseparability of economic from political, social and cultural questions, including resistance, dissent and social movements.
