Opis

This is the first book to look at new forms of governance emerging in the epoch of the Anthropocene. Forms of rule, seeking to govern without the handrails of modernist assumptions of ‘command and control’ from the top-down; taking on ontopolitical understandings of the need to govern on the grounds of non-linearity, complexity and entanglement.
