Abstract: Policy responses to the recent financial and economic crisis 
may not have induced a shift in general paradigms of economic policy and 
economic theory. But they reflect, for instance, a new emphasis on the 
provision of financial stability in central banking and revisions in the 
classification of risks in financial services. Within the European 
Union, a new legal-political architecture of joint financial and fiscal 
supervision is emerging, which is oriented towards ensuring macro 
prudence at European scale. This panel invites contributions from 
economic sociology, economic policy analysis, political economy and 
others that use the lens of discourse analysis to explore modes of 
economic governance that have been developing since the crisis. We 
particularly welcome contributions that focus on governmentality 
following Foucault or investigate how economic expert discourse has 
re-constituted itself. From the perspective of governmentality, the 
question arises how modes of liberal
  government and risk management are being re-articulated in adjusted 
rationalities, technologies and dispositives of economic and financial 
policy. The perspective of expert discourse, on the other hand, suggests 
looking into different forms of economic expert knowledge, such as 
economic models, ideologies, or discourses on (economic) policy 
formation and market performativity. We invite papers that explore how 
these forms of knowledge are implicated in sustaining and adjusting 
specific modes of economic governance.

Those interested in contributing to this panel should submit the details 
of their paper, including an abstract of no more than 300 words by 15th 
February, 2016, to the conference website 
http://www2.hull.ac.uk/fass/fass/facultyevents/ipa2016.aspx. Under the 
tab 'paper panels', please chose panel No 43 "Governmentality and 
expertise". After 15th February, panel conveners will then review and 
select proposals.
