The Handbook on Governmentality discusses the development of an
interdisciplinary field of research, focusing on Michel
Foucault’s post-foundationalist concept of governmentality and
the ways it has been used to write genealogies of modern states,
the governance of societal problems and the governance of the self.
Bringing together an international group of contributors, the
Handbook examines major developments in debates on governmentality,
as well as encouraging further research in areas such as climate
change, decolonial politics, logistics, and populism. Chapters
explore how governmentality reshapes policy analysis as political
practice, the relationship between Foucault’s ideas of government
and postcolonial experiences, and how governmentality can
illuminate discourse on the green economy and biopolitics.
Analysing how contemporary socio-political issues including
feminist politics, migration, and racialized medicine are
interwoven with the concept of governmentality, this Handbook sheds
light on the modern-day uses of Foucault’s work. Providing a
comprehensive overview of research on governmentality, this
Handbook will be essential reading for students and scholars of
development studies, geopolitics, political economy, organizational
studies, political geography, postcolonial theory, and public
policy. It will also be a key resource for policy makers in the
field looking for a deeper theoretical understanding of the topic.
