Marking a major development in Foucault's thinking, this book takes
as its starting point the notion of "biopower," studying the
foundations of this new technology of power over populations.
Distrinct from punitive disciplinary systems, the mechanisms of
power are here finely entwined with the technologies of security.
In this volume, though, Foucault begins to turn his attention to
the history of "governmentality," from the first centuries of the
Christian era to the emergence of the modern nation state--shifting
the center of gravity of the lectures from the question of biopower
to that of government. In light of Foucault's later work, these
lectures illustrate a radical turning point at which the transition
to the problematic of the "government of self and others" would
begin.
