Ungoverning is the destruction of state capacity. There is perhaps no precedent for it in the history of politics. Yet we are seeing it now unfold in Washington DC. What is it? Where does it lead? And why is there a constituency for it? Muirhead, the author with Nancy Rosenblum, of Ungoverning: The Attack on the Administrative State and the Politics of Chaos, will show how ungoverning leads to a resurrection of a politics of personal rule as opposed to a politics of governing. 

Russell Muirhead teaches at Dartmouth College where he is the Robert Clements Professor of Democracy and Politics. He is the author of books about the moral meaning of work, partisanship and polarization, conspiracy and democracy, and the current phenomenon of ungoverning. Muirhead also represents Hanover and Lyme in the NH House of Representatives.
