Officious Author: Josie Appleton
ISBN: 9781785354205 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 136 Published: 1 December 2016 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 21.6 x 14.2 x 0.8 Description: In Anglo-Saxon countries there is a new and distinctive form of state: the busybody state. This state is defined by an attachment to bureaucratic procedures for their own sake: the rule for the sake of a rule; the form for the sake of a form. Its insignias are the badge, the policy, the code and the procedure. The logic of the regulation is neither to represent an elite class interest, nor to serve the public, nor even to organise social relations with the greatest efficiency as with classic bureaucracy, but rather to represent regulation itself.
This book analyses the logic of the busybody state, explains its origins, and calls for a popular alliance defending the free realm of civil society.
