Description du livre
This open access book delves into the politics of oppression and dispossession driven by global neoliberalism and state authoritarianism. Challenging liberal biases, it introduces the concept of "neoliberal authoritarianism," highlighting how the Russian state has transformed within the context of neoliberal globalization into a new state formation where authoritarianism is reinforced by neoliberal rationalities. The book analyzes neoliberal authoritarianism through an ethnographic lens on universities and their governance, which have become a new frontier of neoliberal economic development, serving the imperatives of growth and competition.
