Neoliberalism as an object of political analysis: an ideology, a mode of regulation or a governmentality?
本文梳理了新自由主义的三种常见概念化方式——意识形态、调节模式和以市场为导向的治理术，认为治理术视角因能避免文献中的三个问题而最具分析潜力。
This article aims to bring some definitional clarity to the study of neoliberalism by investigating the three most common conceptualisations of the project as an ideology, mode of regulation, and market-oriented governmentality. It is argued that the heretofore somewhat marginalised governmentality perspective offers the most untapped potential for new analytical insights due to its ability to avoid three problems apparent in the literature on neoliberalism: the conflation of the governmental and hegemonic politics of neoliberalism; the prevalence of overly simplistic periodisations of neoliberalism; and, the failure to grasp the importance of processes of subjectification to the practical functioning of neoliberalism.
