2/8/2024 0 Comments Order dis meaning![]() ![]() I conclude with a brief observation on the scholarly epistemology of (dis)order and a cautionary note about seeking to explain a (dis)orderly world. While classical economics deals with disorder by assuming it away, economic history and the study of monopoly power instead allows us to frame different kinds of (dis)order, in ways that parallel disorder in governance.įourth, I locate the governance of (dis)order in relation to transactional politics, and thence to three logics of power, namely: the allocation of power according to the ‘political marketplace’ the reinvention of custom through ‘moral populist’ agendas and the negotiation of the sovereign privilege of killing.įifth, I try to historicize contemporary forms of governing (dis)order, locating them in specific historical and political-economic circumstances, in both historic centres of governance and the global peripheries. Third, I explore disorder in the economic realm, and specifically, what it means to have disorder in markets. Modes of governing typically involve producing both order and disorder. There is transformative or revolutionary disorder, and sustained disorder. Second, I focus on the challenges and forms of governing disorder: governing amidst disorder, despite disorder, or through disorder, or combinations thereof. There is a fundamental distinction between intrinsic turmoil, structured chaos, and what appears to be disorder but is actually a different ordering of society that renders it illegible to the governing authority, perhaps deliberately so. Disorder can mean a number of different things. I seek both to normalize disorder-to suggest that it may be the norm rather than the aberration-and to specify various different kinds of disorder.įirst, I try to identify different facets, dimensions or qualities to disorder in the socio-political realm. This paper poses some issues in order to help clarify what social scientists mean by ‘(dis)order’. Prepared for the March 2 – 3, 2017 seminar, Theorizing (Dis)Order: Governing in an Uncertain World, organized by the winners of the 2016 – 2017 WPF Student Seminar Competition.
