Despite the enormous influence of Michel Foucault in gender
studies, social theory, and cultural studies, his work has been
relatively neglected in the study of politics. Although he never
published a book on the state, in the late 1970s Foucault examined
the technologies of power used to regulate society and the
ingenious recasting of power and agency that he saw as both
consequence and condition of their operation.
These twelve essays provide a critical introduction to Foucault's
work on politics, exploring its relevance to past and current
thinking about liberal and neo-liberal forms of government. Moving
away from the great texts of liberal political philosophy, this
book looks closely at the technical means with which the ideals of
liberal political rationalities have been put into practice in such
areas as schools, welfare, and the insurance industry.
This fresh approach to one of the seminal thinkers of the twentieth
century is essential reading for anyone interested in social and
cultural theory, sociology, and politics.
