Roberts, John M.

The competent public sphereglobal political economy, dialogue and the contemporary workplace /[electronic resource] :John Michael Roberts. - Basingstoke, England ;Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - vi, 204 p. ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introducing Competence and the Public Sphere -- The New Economy -- The New Economy as the Fetish of Financialisation -- The Competent Public Sphere of the New Economy -- Democracy and Participation in the Competent Public Sphere -- Silencing the Thematic Utterances of Workers -- Trade Unions,Participation, and the Proletarian Public Sphere -- Conclusion: Towards a Socialist Public Sphere.

Drawing on Marxism and engaging with theorists such as Mikhail Bakhtin, Gilles Deleuze, and Slavojiek, John Michael Roberts argues that a new expressive ideology has coalesced within the contemporary workplace around the theme of 'competence'. The 'competence' agenda encourages management andworkers to build networks of trust, cooperation and dialogue between one another. By examining the competent public sphere as it appears in the global economy, the author takes to task the competenceagenda, relates this agenda to the hegemony of global finance and to the fetishism of the new economy, exposes the dilemmas and contradictionsof the competence agenda, and through everyday examples from the UK and USA illustrates how competence is played out and resisted in the contemporary workplace. This book provides a fascinating critical account of how the way we work today is debated and discussed by management and workers.
