Depoliticisation as process, governance as practice: what did the 'first wave' get wrong and do we need a 'second wave' to put it right? (2014, background): “…consequences of ostensibly ‘rational’ behaviour and equilibrium thinking) – and, what is more, a disequilibrium theory closely linked to the anticipation and subsequent analysis of the crisis itself (see especially Crouch, 2004; 2008; 2009; Hay, 2006; 2007; 2011, but also Burnham, 2001).”
