This volume focuses on the relation that Foucault established between the ideas of biopower and biopolitics and the studies of governmentality in his last Courses at the Collège de France and in his occasional writings of this period. The essays in this volume adopt and contribute to Foucault's analysis of biopolitics as a guiding thread to understand why liberalism and neoliberalism is a 'government of life'.Abstract: An examination of Foucault's last thought, centered on his ideas about biopolitics, governmentality, and subjectivity. This volume aims to explain why the politics and policies of neoliberalism arebest understood as a "government of life" whose effects and consequences still remain to be fathomed.
