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.
