"Competing Responsibilities makes a valuable theoretical and empirical contribution to social scientific understandings of responsibility at a key moment in the world's unfolding. . . . This is an accomplished collection with a sustained argument running through it, thus offering substantive and always eloquent interpretations of responsibility and creating a text that has broad-ranging value to the academy and indeed, beyond." - Fiona Murphy (Social Anthropology) "Competing Responsibilities builds on the centrality of 'responsibilization' in neoliberal technologies of governance. . . . This insightful collection will provide food for thought for both researchers and advanced students." - John Gledhill (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute)
