"Mitchell Dean has written an outstandingly clear and scholarly
introduction to the central theses and methods of the analysis of
the mentalities and techniques of rule... He not only provides a
guide to Foucault's own thought in this area, but he also draws
upon other key thinkers in contemporary social theory to develop
original and illuminating analysis of some principle formations of
political power. Dean's book should become required reading not
just for those interested in the work of Michel Foucault, but for
all those who are concerned with the dilemmas of contemporary
politics." - Nikolas Rose, Goldsmiths, Praise for the First Edition
Originally published in 1999 this exceptionally clear and lucid
book quickly became the standard overview of what are now called
'governmentality studies'. With its emphasis on the relationship
between governmentality and other key concepts drawn from Michel
Foucault, such as bio-politics and sovereignty, the first edition
anticipated and defined the terms of contemporary debate and
analysis. In this timely second edition Mitchell Dean engages with
the full textual basis of Foucault's lectures and once again
provides invaluable insights into the traditions, methods and
theories of political power identifying the authoritarian as well
as liberal sides of governmentality. Every chapter has been fully
revised and updated to incorporate, and respond to, new
theoretical, social and political developments in the field; a new
introduction surveying the state of governmentality today has also
been added as well as a completely new chapter on international
governmentality.
