Neoliberal Hegemony: A Global Critique

The book asks how a set of ideas that few politicians openly claim can still shape policy across the world. Its answer starts with the people behind the movement. It maps the networks and organisations of roughly a thousand neoliberal intellectuals linked to the Mont Pèlerin Society.

The authors stress that neoliberalism was never a single doctrine. They describe its different schools of thought, the varied strategies used in the contest for influence over research and policy, and the partisan think tanks the movement set up. The book also adds to work on private authority and the making of transnational civil society.

Students of international relations, political economy and globalisation should find it directly relevant. Edition note: published by Routledge in 2005, 294 pages, edition 1, ISBN-13 9780415373272.
