Insurance, an industry worth 4.6 trillion USD in premium volume in 2016,1 has major effects on how individuals and collectives are governed in the world. With 80 per cent of premiums sold in OECD countries, it is reasonable to argue that the form of governance it facilitates is premised on the liberal forms of life that insurance has been designed to protect.2 If, as argued in the ‘Introduction’, doing a socio-political economy of the globe is indeed possible, the problem of understanding the role of insurance in creating liberal governance in the world, and the possibility of questioning and resisting this process, is certainly an important challenge. This can only be done, as posed by the forum, by integrating the analysis of the political, the economic and the sociocultural, of the everyday and the global, as a single problem space where an integration between IPE and IPS has much to offer. This contribution to the forum focuses on identifying empirical spaces where IPE meets IPS in the problem that results from insurantial practices of governing through risk.

保险、主观性和治理

保险业是一个 2016 年保费额为 4.6 万亿美元的行业，1 对世界上个人和集体的治理方式具有重大影响。由于 80% 的保费在经合组织国家出售，因此有理由认为它促进的治理形式以保险旨在保护的自由人寿形式为前提。 2 如果如“引言”中所述，做一个全球的社会政治经济确实是可能的，理解保险在创造世界自由治理中的作用的问题，以及质疑和抵制这个过程的可能性，当然是一个重要的挑战。这只能像论坛提出的那样，通过整合对政治、经济和社会文化、日常生活和全球的分析，作为一个单一的问题空间，IPE 和 IPS 之间的集成可以提供很多。对论坛的贡献侧重于确定 IPE 与 IPS 在由通过风险管理的保险实践所导致的问题中的经验空间。
