A talk by Prof Mark Bevir, University of California, Berkeley
About this Event

Mark Bevir is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He is one of the most influential theorists working at the intersection of political theory, interpretive social science, and the history of ideas. He has spent his career unpacking the idea of governance.

His landmark works, including Democratic Governance (Princeton, 2010), A Theory of Governance (UC Press, 2013), and Governance: A Very Short Introduction(Oxford, 2012), have fundamentally challenged accounts of the state.

In this lecture, Bevir will offer a genealogical account of governance, tracing how its dominant rationalities and forms have emerged, shifted, and been contested across time. The lecture promises to be essential for anyone working on public policy, political theory, international governance, critical social science, or the history of political thought.
