Policy Worlds: Anthropology and the Analysis of Contemporary Power
There are few areas of society today that remain outside the ambit of policy processes, and likewise policy making has progressively reached into the structure and fabric of everyday life. An instrument of modern government, policy and its processes provide an analytical window into systems of governance themselves, opening up ways to study power and the construction of regimes of truth. This volume argues that policies are not simply coercive, c…
Market Research, Anthropology in
Anthropological research methods have been successfully leveraged to observe and interpret consumer behavior in order to inform the design, positioning, and messaging of products and services in the private, nonprofit, and governmental sectors. Anthropology is a vital complement to the mainstay of market research, quantitative surveys, because it connects disparate insights and weaves them into robust, coherent narratives that explain why consume…
The Bankrupt Framework of Neoliberalism: A Bailout of Anthropological Theory
Janine R Wedel is contributing editor of "Research on Policy," the AAA Interest Group for the Anthropology of Public Policy column in Anthropology News
The Global Crisis of Economic Meaning
Trading Up: Reflections on Power, Collaboration, and Ethnography in the Anthropology of Policy
This article constitutes a pragmatic consideration of how to orchestrate access to 'powerful' individuals and a theoretical reflection on what efforts to negotiate access reveal about the anthropologist's subterranean assumptions about power, collaboration and ethnographic data. Too frequently, powerful actors and the contemporary settings they inhabit appear to be obstacles to ethnographic research. In contrast, I propose that we explore the way…
Unruly Experts: Methods and Forms of Collaboration in the Anthropology of Public Policy
We never seek out frustration, but it almost always finds us. Seasoned field researchers, anthropologists pride themselves on their ability to handle life's curve balls, from visa problems to cultural misunderstandings to difficulties in gaining access to informants. These curve balls go hand in hand with the home runs: all are moments in fieldwork, wherever, however, and among whomever conducted, and each moment has a story
Take it from the top (down)? Rethinking neoliberalism and political hierarchy in Mexico
In this article, I unpack the relationship between neoliberalism as a policy framework and as a rationality of governance by examining the daily practices of Mexican technocrats with advanced academic degrees in neoclassical economics. Neoclassical economics is implicitly regarded as the transparent technical mechanism through which neoliberal ideas are transmitted to policy. In contrast, I approach neoclassical economics as a system of knowledge…
