This book examines the development of biopolitics as an academic
perspective within political science. It reviews the work of the
leading proponents of this perspective and presents a comprehensive
view of biopolitics as a framework to structure political inquiry.
The book's chapters present a range of analysis, critique and
recommendations for the current study of biopolitics. Coverage
includes; the implications of biopolitics for political theory and
the need to re-evaluate basic assumptions of the prevailing
political science paradigm; an analysis of the methodological
concerns of adopting a more biology-based approach to political
science; the current state of knowledge of the genetic and
neurological bases of mass and elite behavior; and biopolicy issues
and the proper role of the life sciences in informing our
understanding of them. The concluding chapter restates the case for
a paradigm shift toward an interactive model, arguing that, rather
than lead to biological determinism as denounced by some, this
inclusive paradigm allows us to counteract deterministic
protestations more effectively than by continuing to ignore or
minimize biological influences.
