Synopsis "Through the Looking Glass and Down the Rabbit Hole: Mapping the (Il)logics of Contemporary Politics: How Politics Became Governance – Study & Discussion Edition"
A Study & Discussion Edition of the structural journey from politics to governance. Through the Looking Glass and Down the Rabbit Hole traces a fifty-year transformation in contemporary politics: from political choice toward administrative management, from citizens toward clients, from collective responsibility toward individual adaptation, and from democratic correction toward institutional drift. The book examines how successive reforms, institutional incentives, market logics, performance systems, and changing ideas of responsibility gradually altered the conditions under which political choice could operate. Its argument is structural rather than conspiratorial and directional rather than monocausal. This Study & Discussion Edition contains the complete main text together with additional material designed for seminars, reading groups, courses, and independent study. The companion material supports structured discussion of the book's central claims, conceptual distinctions, institutional mechanisms, historical turning points, and possible counterarguments. The analysis follows four recurring transitions: from politics to governance from citizens to clients from choice to management from democracy to drift The additional study material is intended to help readers distinguish empirical claims from structural interpretation, identify points of institutional divergence, test alternative explanations, and discuss where — and whether — different trajectories remained possible. Suitable for university teaching, political science and public administration seminars, reading groups, and readers who want to engage with the argument systematically rather than simply read it once.
