Disorganising the world: neoliberalism and the global Soundings Kilburn Manifesto seminar Thursday, 23 October 2014 from 18:30 to 20:30 Marx Memorial Library, 37a Clerkenwell Green, London EC1R 0DU London, UK "Scarcely ever have governments the world over seemed less capable of responding with clear understanding and capability to the problems they encounter ... Our contention is that this has not been a contingent series of events [in the Middle East and Ukraine], a random sequence of foreign policy accidents, but that they are in their own way systemic – a kind of organised disorder – and that understanding them is closely related to the task we have set ourselves in this Manifesto’s analysis and critique of neoliberalism as a global system." Read more here: http://www.lwbooks.co.uk/journals/soundings/manifesto.html Join us for the eighth seminar in the Soundings' Kilburn Manifesto series, in which Michael Rustin (Professor of Sociology at UEL) will introduce the latest instalment 'Rethinking the neoliberal world order', which he co-wrote with Doreen Massey to open up debate on the centrality of a global perspective in understanding neoliberalism. Jo Littler will chair the seminar, with Justin Rosenberg (University of Sussex) and David Wearing (SOAS) responding. "After Neoliberalism?" is an online manifesto - edited by Soundings founding editors Stuart Hall, Doreen Massey, and Mike Rustin - which seeks to open up space to debate alternatives to current dominant neoliberal systems. Previous instalments of the manifesto can be read online atwww.lwbooks.co.uk/journals/soundings/manifesto.html.
