Neoliberalism is commonly viewed as an economic doctrine that seeks to limit the scope of government. Some consider it a form of predatory capitalism with adverse effects on the Global South. In this groundbreaking work, Aihwa Ong offers an alternative view of neoliberalism as an extraordinarily malleable technology of governing that is taken up in different ways by different regimes, be they authoritarian, democratic, or communist. Ong shows how East and Southeast Asian states are making exceptions to their usual practices of governing in order to position themselves to compete in the global economy. As she demonstrates, a variety of neoliberal strategies of governing are re-engineering political spaces and populations. Ong’s ethnographic case studies illuminate experiments and developments such as China’s creation of special market zones within its socialist economy; pro-capitalist Islam and women’s rights in Malaysia; Singapore’s repositioning as a hub of scientific expertise; and flexible labor and knowledge regimes that span the Pacific.
Ong traces how these and other neoliberal exceptions to business as usual are reconfiguring relationships between governing and the governed, power and knowledge, and sovereignty and territoriality. She argues that an interactive mode of citizenship is emerging, one that organizes people—and distributes rights and benefits to them—according to their marketable skills rather than according to their membership within nation-states. Those whose knowledge and skills are not assigned significant market value—such as migrant women working as domestic maids in many Asian cities—are denied citizenship. Nevertheless, Ong suggests that as the seam between sovereignty and citizenship is pried apart, a new space is emerging for NGOs to advocate for the human rights of those excluded by neoliberal measures of human worthiness.
和Culture-based approach不一样的是,Ong所采取的governmentality approach开始尝试在不同context里研究neoliberalism,而不把neoliberalism当成一个overarching term。她看到了neoliberalism是受到efficiency和ethics的双重限制的,于是就有了neoliberalism as exception和ex...

读了一点点但记忆深刻
评分方法和观点是我赞同的,概念和术语的使用也很到位。但是在论证过程中,经验材料的使用感觉还有点局限(需要扩充),大概是作者想覆盖的范围太大而篇幅有限的缘故吧。
评分读了一点点但记忆深刻
评分跨国ngo这部分和lisa lowe的论述很相似,从非西方世界出发重新叙述neoliberalism,Ong的视野真是不小。
评分同学读到反胃的主题,我才刚接触。涉及案例极其广泛,每个案例都很浅,但是理论却很玄,造了各种词,不喜欢。
